Call for Papers

Concerns about inequality and questions of social justice and cohesion have re-entered the public arena and animate debate. In his Nobel prize lecture in 2015, Angus Deaton has outlined three imperatives that are key to understanding inequalities and formulating welfare-enhancing policies: (I) Differences in resources across individuals should be measured not only at specific points in time but also across the life course. (II) Direct economic measures of well-being should be developed to assess better socio-economic outcomes. (III) Data should be reconciled with lifecycle models to explain the causal mechanisms behind outcomes. Our open workshop is an initiative to build on these imperatives and seeks to bring together scholars whose research focuses, from a lifecycle perspective, on inequalities in and fluctuations of economic resources and their drivers.

This open workshop is part of the project Life-course Inequality Dynamics, funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) and Agence nationale de la recherche (ANR, French National Research Agency).
