2025-2nd III/LIS Comparative Economic Inequality Conference 2025
LIS and the UK LIS Satellite Office at the International Inequalities Institute (III) of the London School of Economics invite scholars working in the field of comparative economic inequality to contribute to the 2nd III/LIS Comparative Economic Inequality Conference on 27-28 February 2025 in Luxembourg City at the Coque Business Space.
We invite submissions from scholars at all levels of seniority who are working on comparative economic inequality, broadly interpreted. Topics include (but are not restricted to) new approaches to the measurement of inequalities in income, wealth, or debt; across genders, racialised groups, class, or space. We are particularly interested in papers looking at cross-country differences using LIS/LWS or similar data but are also open to comparative work on inequalities across different socio-demographic or socio-economic groups within countries. Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome.
