This contribution is part of a broader research program initiated by de Rosa in the 1980s
on “Place-identity and Social Representations of European Capitals in First Visitors of
Six Different Nationalities” (cfr inter alia: de Rosa, 1995a, 1997; de Rosa, Antonelli &
Calogero, 1995). It has been developed over time in various lines of investigation
interrelated between them: “field studies” (de Rosa, 2013c; de Rosa & d’Ambrosio,
2010, 2011) and “media studies” (de Rosa & Bocci, 2014a, 2014b, 2015; de Rosa,

The paper is structured as follows. In section 2 we clarify the concept of inequality used in the paper, pointing out the various steps that contribute to shape inequality in disposable income. Next, in sections 3 and 4 we present data about trends in disposable income and market income inequality in developed countries, respectively. We then focus on the role played by redistribution, also presenting some caveats about the interpretation of the inequality reducing effect of taxes and transfers (section 5).

Our ability to predict the identity of future invasive alien species is largely based upon knowledge of prior invasion history. Emerging alien species-those never encountered as aliens before-therefore pose a significant challenge to biosecurity interventions worldwide. Understanding their temporal trends, origins, and the drivers of their spread is pivotal to improving prevention and risk assessment tools. Here, we use a database of 45,984 first records of 16,019 established alien species to investigate the temporal dynamics of occurrences of emerging alien species worldwide.
