In this paper, I estimate income inequality in Warsaw in the early XIX century, using the 1833 tax census as the data source. I compare the income of Jews and Christians and investigate the spatial dimension of income inequality in the city. In 1833, income inequality in Warsaw was very high by modern standards and medium by contemporary standards. The Gini index stood at 0.59, and the share of the top 1% was 19%. The inequality extraction ratio was 76%. The mean income of Jews was significantly higher than the mean income of Christians. Mean income varied strongly across districts of the city.

1830 年代华沙的收入分配

在本文中，我使用 1833 年的税收普查作为数据来源，估算了 19 世纪初华沙的收入不平等。我比较了犹太人和基督徒的收入，并调查了城市收入不平等的空间维度。1833 年，华沙的收入不平等以现代标准衡量非常严重，以当代标准衡量则处于中等水平。基尼指数为0.59，收入最高的1%人口所占比例为19%。不平等抽取率为76%。犹太人的平均收入明显高于基督徒的平均收入。该市不同地区的平均收入差异很大。
