Distinguish between absolute and comparative advantage

Hello, and thank you in advance:)
I'm trying to figure out whether there is a relationship between within country income inequality and different exchange rate regimes.
Now I'm in the process of selecting my cases (countries). I was thinking of making a comparison of countries going through the same process starting from the Bretton Woods System through the EMR (2.25) & EMR (15) up to the EMU.
Like this I was hoping to see whether the change from one system to another has any implications on the Gini and Theil-Index for those countries. It would aso make a time series comparison of countries a lot easier, given that countries change their exchange rate regimes quite often, and results can vary widely if different classifications for exchange rate regimes are used.
Now given that my knowledge of macroeconomics is still rather limited, I wanted to know whether this procedure is any good, or if it would make more sense to compare time series of different exchange rate regimes (i.e. UK from 1973-today vs. US
