LISER together with many partners in Luxembourg co-organizes the following lecture.

The last few decades have seen a rise in income inequality. This rise has generated concerns about inequality and its policy implications. Economic inequalities can be evaluated based on fairness. But fairness can be inconsistent with economic efficiency; and it can depend on social relations. This lecture examines the linkages between fairness, economic efficiency and social relations, along with their implications for policy.

Speaker

Prof. Jean-Paul Chavas (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
