World Income Inequality Database (WIID) authors' workshop

UNU-WIDER's World Income Inequality Database research project holds a virtual workshop that brings together researchers selected under the project's open call for research proposals. The selected papers fulfill a project aim to improve understanding of inequality —how it varies, why it varies, and what the implications of this might be— and to offer new frameworks that provide insight into how to address inequality.

The selected authors present first drafts of their working papers and receive feedback from a discussant and other invited experts. The seven papers selected from the open call represent outstanding contributions to the field of inequality studies that use the World Income Inequality Database in a novel way to advance the knowledge frontier. They were selected from more than 250 proposals. All papers are forthcoming in the WIDER Working Paper Series.
