Join the networkWorkshop for the @Equal project
The 'Impact of inequality on growth, human development, and governance' project (@EQUAL) holds a project workshop to discuss and share research and results of the projects phase one studies. The themes of phase one are:
- Reimagining research on inequality (absolute vs relative measures)
- The impacts of inequality on growth, human development, and governance
Additionally, the project team will discuss work completed to advance methods for studying inequality (such as those used in behavioral economics and lab-in-the-field studies) and next steps for phase two, which will focus research on the country cases of Mozambique and Vietnam.
