PROGRAMME EUROPÉEN EURIAS À L’IEA DE PARIS
This research proposal is part of an ongoing long-term project on top incomes and wealth concentration based on fiscal records, in which I participate together with Tony Atkinson and Thomas Piketty, and in which I will be working on in the coming years. It is linked to the work on distribution that I have been doing for some time now. During the stay at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Paris, special emphasis will be put on the analysis of the former French colonies regarding personal taxation and income concentration.
The actions envisaged include:
(i) establishing a long-run global picture of inequality as revealed by fiscal records;
(ii) analysis of the long-run drivers of inequality;(iii) analysis of the distributional impact of banking crises with particular attention on the right tail of income and wealth distributions;
(iv) creation of an on-line data archive on top income shares available to researchers.
 Workshop organized by Patrice Duran (Director of the Paris IAS) and Facundo Alvaredo (Paris IAS fellow) |
