The course aims at analysing inequality, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective. The course focuses on uneven growth mechanisms and between-countries inequality; drivers of within-countries inequality; definitions and measures of inequality in outcomes (e.g., income and wage, opportunity); labour income inequality; inequality between social groups (by race and gender); comparative analysis of redistributive policies; the impact of climate change on employment and earnings.
