About the Workshop |
|
Inequality has long been a research area with important policy implications. Arguably, too narrow a wealth or income distribution impedes economic growth by stifling incentives to work hard or take risks, but too wide a distribution can cause political unrest and even a revolution. Over the last several decades inequality has been rising in many countries, and of late has been frequently highlighted in the popular press. Thus, comprehending the causes and consequences of inequality is crucial to understanding societies and their future. |
