SUMMARY:Reducing Inequality Now (Special Online Event)
DESCRIPTION:This historical moment makes clear the urgent need for reducing economic inequality\, while presenting a unique opportunity for change. As the COVID-19  pandemic has exposed gaps in the social safety net\, protests in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder have mobilized a powerful new movement for racial justice. Leading economic experts discuss the gaping disparities by race and class that have driven so many Americans into the streets\, and examine the prospects for policy and institutional changes that could create a more equal society\, starting today.  \nFeaturing: Darrick Hamilton\, executive director of the Kirwan Institute and professor of public policy\, sociology\, and economics and Ohio State University\, who is a frequent commentator on NPR\, MSNBC\, and the BBC; Paul Krugman\, Nobel Prize–winning economist\, distinguished professor at The Graduate Center\, New York Times columnist\, and author of the recent book Arguing with Zombies: Economics\, Politics\, and the Fight for a Better Future; and Eduardo Porter\, economics reporter for the business section of The New York Times and author of the recent book American Poison: How Racial Hostility Destroyed Our Promise. Janet Gornick\, professor of political science and sociology and director of the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at The Graduate Center\, will moderate. \nGo here to watch the video for Panel: Reducing Inequality Now. \n

SUMMARY:Capital and Ideology: Thomas Piketty in Conversation (Postponed)
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed. \nThomas Piketty’s bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. The French economist’s anticipated follow-up\, Capital and Ideology\, is at once a retelling of global history\, a scathing critique of contemporary politics\, and a bold proposal for a fairer economic system. Just after the new book’s publication\, Piketty discusses his latest provocative ideas with Vincent Hutchings\, professor of political science at the University of Michigan; Paul Krugman\, Nobel Prize–winning economist\, New York Times columnist\, and distinguished professor at The Graduate Center; and Leslie McCall\, presidential professor of sociology and political science and associate director of the Stone Center on Socio Economic Inequality at The Graduate Center. \nThis event will be held in the Proshansky Auditorium (Room: C200). \n\n\n\n\n\nReserve Now

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. Watch the video. \nPart of the series “The Promise and Perils of Democracy.” This project is made possible in part with support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

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.

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.

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 – Deirdre Bloome
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a seminar and discussion with Deirdre Bloome on “Educational Inequalities\, Educational Expansion\, and Intergenerational Income Mobility in the United States.” \nThe event will take place in Room 9204. \n \nDeirdre Bloome is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and a faculty affiliate of the Population Studies Center and the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan. Currently\, she is on leave as a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation. Her research uses demographic and statistical techniques to understand how patterns of social stratification are produced and reproduced in the United States. She holds a Ph.D. in sociology and social policy and an A.M. in statistics\, both from Harvard University\, and a certificate in demography from the Office of Population Research at Princeton University. Her current topics of investigation include the relationships among economic inequality\, mobility\, and insecurity\, the historical evolution of racial inequality in income and family structure\, and statistical methods for characterizing population heterogeneity. Her previous work has been published in outlets including the American Sociological Review\, Demography\, Social Forces\, Sociological Methodology\, and the Annual Review of Sociology.\n \nPaper Abstract\nHow has intergenerational income mobility remained stable in the United States while income gaps between people with different levels of education have grown? In recent decades\, college graduates have pulled away from non-graduates in both their parents’ incomes and their eventual\, adult incomes. In light of these trends\, scholars predicted that intergenerational income mobility would decline. Yet previous research suggests that it has remained stable. To address this puzzle\, we develop decomposition and model- based methods to disentangle education’s dual roles in the mobility process: Education not only perpetuates incomes across generations; it also fosters upward mobility. Using data from the 1979 and 1997 cohorts of the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth\, we find that rising parental income gaps across levels of education exerted strong downward pressure on income mobility. Yet two countervailing changes offset this downward pressure\, stabilizing mobility. First\, because mobility is highest among college graduates\, educational expansion—more people completing college\, whatever their parents’ income—bolstered mobility. Second\, mobility rose within education groups. We discuss these findings in light of changes in the transition to adulthood and changes in the labor market.

SUMMARY:Inequality Seminar Series – Guido Alfani
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a seminar and discussion with Guido Alfani on “Economic Inequality in Preindustrial Societies: The Republic of Venice and Europe\, ca. 1300-1800.” The event will take place in Room 8304. \n \nGuido Alfani is associate professor of economic history at Bocconi University\, Milan. He has published extensively on wealth and income inequality in Italy during the late medieval and early modern period. He has been the principal investigator of the project funded by the European Research Council (ERC)\, EINITE – Economic Inequality across Italy and Europe 1300-1800 (www.dondena.unibocconi.it/EINITE)\, whose aim was to reconstruct inequality measures in the long run of history and to reach a better understanding of the determinants of inequality change in preindustrial societies. He is currently the principal investigator of a new ERC project\, SMITE\, whose focus is on social mobility.\n \nPaper Abstract\nRecent research in economic history has unearthed previously unknown facts about the long-term trends in inequality. We now have\, for at least some areas of Europe\, continuous time series of key inequality indicators from ca. 1300. Most of these series have resulted from the research conducted by the project EINITE – Economic Inequality across Italy and Europe 1300-1800. These new data are changing the way in which we perceive economic inequality not only in the past\, but even today – as a key lesson from history\, is that economic inequality (especially\, but not only\, of wealth) has a marked tendency for increasing over time\, and only catastrophes on the scale of the Black Death or the World Wars managed to bring it down\, albeit temporarily. This seminar will focus on new research being conducted on what was\, until the beginning of the early modern period at least\, one of the main economic powers of Europe and the Mediterranean: the Republic of Venice. In some respects\, this is the world area for which we now have the most detailed information about wealth inequality and poverty\, for the period from ca. 1400 until the end of the Republic. It is also an area perfectly suited to test some hypotheses about the deep causes of the tendency for inequality to grow that seems to have characterized almost the entire European continent during the early modern period\, independently from economic growth. The seminar will focus on the role played by institutions\, and in particular by the rise of the fiscal-military state. The findings for the Republic of Venice will be placed in a broader European perspective.

SUMMARY:Inequality Seminar Series - Olle Hammer
DESCRIPTION:Olle Hammer is a Ph.D. student at the Department of Economics at Uppsala University and currently visiting at Columbia University.  \nHis presentation is on “Global Earnings Inequality\, 1970-2015”. In his paper with Daniel Waldenström\, they “estimate trends in global earnings dispersion across occupational groups using a new database covering 66 developed and developing countries between 1970 and 2015. The main finding is that global earnings inequality has declined\, primarily during the 2000s\, when the global Gini coefficient dropped nearly 10 points and the earnings share of the world’s poorest half doubled.”  \nThe paper will be distributed prior to the seminar.

SUMMARY:Inequality Workshop 2015
DESCRIPTION:One-week workshop on socio-economic inequalities \nJune 1-6\, 2015\, sponsored by The Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY)\, the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Center\, and The Century Foundation’s Bernard L. Schwartz Rediscovering Government Initiative \nThe workshop was held in the Martin E. Segal Theater at the Graduate Center\, located at 365 Fifth Avenue (at 34th Street) in Manhattan.\n \nThis inaugural workshop will take a broad approach to the study of socio-economic inequalities — spanning inequalities in income\, wealth\, employment\, caring labor\, education\, and happiness. Instructors will focus on inequalities through multiple lenses including gender\, class\, race\, and immigration status. Disparities will be considered in multiple geographic contexts: across the U.S. states\, across countries\, and globally.\n \nThis workshop is targeted on Ph.D. students and early-career scholars\, working in a range of social science disciplines — especially economics\, sociology\, and political science — 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 40 applicants will be selected.\n \nThe workshop will have two components.\n \nThe first five days (Monday to Friday\, June 1-5\, 9am to 5pm each day) will feature 15 lectures and presentations\, with time allowed for questions\, discussions\, and research project consultations. The instructors include Janet Gornick\, Conchita D’Ambrosio\, Louis Chauvel\, Michael Förster\, Branko Milanovic\, John Mollenkopf\, Paul Attewell\, Richard Alba\, Ruth Milkman\, Sarah Bruch\, Jeff Madrick\, David Howell\, Leslie McCall\, Nancy Folbre\, and Andrew Clark. A reading list will be available in advance of the workshop.\n \nThe sixth day (Saturday\, June 6\, 10 am to 5 pm) — held in a computer lab — will be a day of “hands-on” instruction focused on learning to access and use income\, employment\, and wealth microdata available through LIS\, the cross-national data archive. This Saturday session will be overseen by Thierry Kruten\, LIS Director of Operations and IT Director. He will be assisted by Graduate Center Ph.D. students and others experienced with the LIS data.\n \nAttendees are encouraged to participate in the entire workshop (with the sixth day being entirely optional)\, although some persons will be admitted who expect to attend only select sessions. Those who attend the June 1-5 portion of the workshop in full will receive a Certificate of Workshop Completion.\n \nThere is no fee for attending the workshop\, and lunches will be provided. There will be a fee for an optional evening dinner. Attendees from outside of New York City are responsible for arranging and funding their own accommodation and travel.\n \nThe workshop\, administered by the Luxembourg Income Study Center at the CUNY Graduate Center\, is overseen by Workshop Director Janet Gornick and Workshop Associate Director Berglind Hólm Ragnarsdóttir.\n \nThe workshop is funded by The Century Foundation’s Bernard L.
