SUMMARY:The Great Resignation

SUMMARY:Conference on Coalitional Democracy (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:In these tumultuous times\, new forms of activism and political engagement are needed more than ever. Movements to expand the social safety net in response to the devastation of the coronavirus\, along with the Black Lives Matter protests\, are working both inside and outside of electoral politics\, with on-the-ground activists often taking the lead. These new developments join long-standing efforts to reduce inequalities of all forms. In this urgent context\, what kinds of coalitions are needed for broad-based change to occur\, given the economic\, political and social divides in the country? What are effective models—past and present—for pushing beyond traditional approaches?

SUMMARY:The Triumph of Injustice
DESCRIPTION:Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman—economists who revolutionized the study of inequality—present a visionary blueprint for tax reform that can allow a more democratic and equal system to prevail. Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis in their new book\, The Triumph of Injustice: How the Rich Dodge Taxes and How to Make Them Pay\, Saez and Zucman offer a comprehensive review of America’s tax system\, demonstrating how the ultra-rich pay less in taxes while working-class Americans have been asked to pay more. The authors speak about the book\, then engage in a discussion of its conclusions with Lily Batchelder\, NYU law professor and former deputy director of President Obama’s National Economic Council\, and Paul Krugman\, Nobel Prize–winning economist\, New York Times columnist\, and distinguished professor at The Graduate Center. Janet Gornick\, professor of political science and sociology and director of the Stone Center at the GC\, will moderate. \nThe event will be held the Proshansky Auditorium.

SUMMARY:Inequality Workshop 2019
DESCRIPTION:The “Inequality by the Numbers” workshop takes a broad approach to the study of socio-economic inequalities – spanning inequalities in income\, wealth\, employment\, education\, social mobility\, politics\, health\, and happiness. Instructors focus on inequalities through multiple lenses\, including gender\, sexuality\, class\, race\, age\, and immigration status\, as well as through multiple disciplinary perspectives. Disparities are considered in several geographic contexts: within New York City\, across the U.S. states\, across countries\, and globally. Read the agenda. \nStructure:\nThis workshop is targeted to Ph.D. students and early-career scholars\, working in a range of social science disciplines – anthropology\, economics\, sociology\, political science\, psychology\, social work\, and related fields – and with a keen interest in socio-economic inequalities. We also welcome applications from interested persons from other settings\, including journalism\, foundations\, and nonprofit organizations. Applicants should be comfortable with presentations and readings that rely on quantitative research/analytic methods. About 50 applicants will be selected. \nFinances:\n* There is no fee for attending the workshop.\n* Attendees from outside of New York City are responsible for arranging and funding their own accommodation and travel.\n* The workshop is funded by the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality. \nDownload the schedule. \nSpeakers and Topics:\n\nRichard Alba  \nGC-CUNY \n\n\n\n\nInequality and Immigration \n\n\n\n\n\nLouis Chauvel  \nUniversity of Luxembourg \n\n\n\n\nInequality Across Generations \n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew Clark  \nParis School of Economics \n\n\n\n\nInequality and Happiness \n\n\n\n\n\nJordan Conwell \nUniversity of Wisconsin \nInequality and Education \n\nMiles Corak  \nStone Center/GC-CUNY \n\n\n\n\nSocial Mobility \n\n\n\n\n\nConchita D’Ambrosio  \nUniversity of Luxembourg \n\n\n\n\nInequality Analysis Tools \n\n\n\n\n\nMichael F.

SUMMARY:Capitalism and Democracy: Can They Coexist?
DESCRIPTION:Capitalism is losing its luster. Most millennials in the U.S. now say they prefer socialism. Inequality is rising\, as those at the top take more of economic winnings. Anger and despair have risen among many of those who are being left behind. Populism is on the rise\, on the political left and right. Capitalism and democracy were once seen as symbiotically related: a broadly market economy embedded within a liberal\, representative demos. Now the partnership is in question\, in part because of the perceived failure of democratic institutions to generate shared economic prosperity. So: what’s next? State capitalism? Socialism? A basic income? An expert panel discusses these issues\, featuring: Leslie McCall\, presidential professor of sociology and political science and associate director of the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at The Graduate Center; Vanessa Williamson\, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of Read My Lips: Why Americans Are Proud to Pay Taxes; and Andrew Yang\, tech entrepreneur\, philanthropist\, and founder of Venture for America. Moderated by Richard Reeves\, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution\, author of Dream Hoarders and curator of the The Guardian’s “Broken Capitalism” series. \nPresented in collaboration with The Guardian’s series “Broken Capitalism.” \n  \nWatch the video of this event.

SUMMARY:Inequality Seminar Series - Murray Leibbrandt
DESCRIPTION:Murray Leibbrandt\, a professor in the School of Economics at the University of Cape Town\, will present\, “Snakes and Ladders and Loaded Dice: Poverty Dynamics and Inequality in South Africa between 2008-2017.” This paper shows that the risk of falling into (deeper) poverty and the chances of moving up looms large in the economic lives of both the poor and the non-poor in South Africa. The paper uses five waves of available National Income Dynamics Study data to provide a thorough and up-to-date analysis of poverty dynamics in South Africa between 2008 and 2017. This analysis investigates how multidimensional inequalities in terms of household- and individual-level characteristics relate to both poverty persistence and vulnerability to poverty. \nMurray Leibbrandt is the director of the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit and the director of African Centre of Excellence for Inequalities Research. He is also on the Executive Committee of the International Economic Association and is a senior research fellow of WIDER and the IZA. \nThe Stone Center hosts a seminar series focused on inequality. The purpose of this series is to give researchers opportunities to present new work to enable intensive discussion and feedback.

SUMMARY:Inequality Seminar Series - Alberto Polo
DESCRIPTION:Alberto Polo is a Ph.D. candidate in economics at New York University. He will present his latest paper using administrative tax-return data to shed new light on the degree of intergenerational economic mobility in Italy since the late 1990s. Provinces in Northern Italy\, the richest area of the country\, display upward mobility levels two to three times as large as those in Southern Italy. This regional variation is strongly correlated with local labor market conditions and with some indicators of school quality. The paper finds that mobility in Italy is larger than in the United States\, but smaller than in Nordic European countries. However\, when using alternative measures that account for the different level of income inequality across countries\, Italy looks more in line with the United States. \nThe Stone Center hosts a seminar series focused on inequality. The purpose of this series is to give researchers opportunities to present new work to enable intensive discussion and feedback.

SUMMARY:Workers and Wages in America Today
DESCRIPTION:In this time of low unemployment\, why is it so hard for American workers to make a living? Why haven’t the economy’s gains of the recent past meant higher wages for everyone? A panel of experts examines the power\, or weakness\, of the American worker—looking at factors such as features of U.S. markets\, technology\, globalization\, gendered wage patterns\, and the decline of unions. Featuring Paul Krugman\, Nobel Prize–winning economist\, New York Times columnist\, and distinguished professor at The Graduate Center; Heidi Shierholz\, senior economist and director of policy at The Economic Policy Institute; Arindrajit Dube\, professor of economics at UMass Amherst; and Eduardo Porter\, economics reporter for the business section of The New York Times (moderator). \nWatch the video.

SUMMARY:Inequality Seminar Series - Siwei Cheng
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Siwei Cheng\, assistant professor of sociology at New York University. Her research focuses on labor market inequality and has been published in the American Journal of Sociology\, American Sociological Review\, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. \nHow Do Americans Perceive Economic Mobility? Cheng will present a study that considers two contradictory observations about mobility in America: intergenerational mobility is low and remarkably stable\, yet Americans seem optimistic about mobility and opportunity. Cheng and her coauthor argue that previous work tends to focus on perceived mobility for specific income groups. They propose a new survey instrument that differentiates perceived mobility outcomes across the parental income distribution and report findings in a large-sample survey. \nThe Stone Center hosts a seminar series focused on inequality. The purpose of this series is to give researchers opportunities to present new work to enable intensive discussion and feedback.

SUMMARY:Inequality Seminar Series - Nishant Yonzan
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the first presentation of the 2018-2019 Inequality Seminar Series with Nishant Yonzan\, Ph.D. candidate in Eeconomics at The Graduate Center\, as well as a researcher at the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality. His research is focused on the changes in the income distribution. He is interested in the role social and political factors play in the dispersion of income distribution\, and\, in turn\, the socio-political implication of the dispersion of the income distribution. His current works include comparing top income shares using administrative and survey data sources\, and a historical study of the dispersion of income in the UK. \nHis presentation will focus on “Assortative Mating over Labor Income and its Implication on Income Inequality: A U.S. Perspective 1970-2017.”
