Call for papers – 2nd III/LIS Comparative Economic Inequality Conference

LIS and the UK LIS Satellite Office at the International Inequalities Institute (III) invite scholars working in the field of comparative economic inequality to contribute to the 2nd III/LIS Comparative Economic Inequality Conference on 27-28 February 2025 at the University of Luxembourg.

We invite submissions from scholars at all levels of seniority who are working on comparative economic inequality, broadly interpreted. Topics include (but are not restricted to) new approaches to the measurement of inequalities in income, wealth, or debt; across genders, racialised groups, class, or space. We are particularly interested in papers looking at cross-country differences using LIS/LWS or similar data but are also open to comparative work on inequalities across different socio-demographic or socio-economic groups within countries. Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome.

Keynote speakers are:

• Nora Lustig, Tulane University
• Fabian Pfeffer, LMU Munich

Deadline for submission: September 15, 2024

Acceptance decision: October 15, 2024
