SimDeco Closing Workshop: Understanding International Differences in Income Inequality

While income inequality trends have been extensively researched within many countries, much less is known about the driving forces behind international differences in inequality. Yet, differences across countries remain more striking than the increases in inequality recently observed within any industrialized country! The LISER project "Tax-benefit systems, employment structures and cross-country differences in income inequality in Europe" (SimDeco) funded by the Fonds National de la Recherche has set out to develop new methods to examine the matter. The workshop aims to bring together a panel of renowned international scholars to present and discuss some of their latest research in this area and to provide a forum to present and discuss the methodology and main results of the SimDeco project.
