English to Chinese: The income inequality of France in historical perspective General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Economics
Source text - English France presents an unusual case because, unlike several other European countries, there are no estimates of the income distribution for the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This is a serious deficiency because it limits the ability to understand how an important dimension of the socio-economic fabric changed during the years preceding and coinciding with the beginning of France's industrial development. In this article we provide estimates that use tax data and the social tables of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. While this data does not provide a basis for a perfectly accurate assessment of the income distribution, it does permit an evaluation of the general magnitude of inequality and how it varied inthat period.

Bio
I have native proficiency in Chinese and English.
I offer translation and interpreting services as a hobby. It stems from my interest in linguistics and my personal desire to keep familiarity in Chinese -- the language I grew up in. My actual profession is in Finance -- in an English language setting. Aside from day-to-day and business translations, I am familiar with technical terms in Economics, Mathematics and Chemistry in both languages. Chemical Physics and Applied Mathematics were my two degrees from undergrad. I studied, for example, Organic Chemistry in both languages and know both the IUPAC and CCS nomenclatures.
