2018 User Conference
On 03-04 of May 2018 took place the 2nd LIS/LWS Users Conference dedicated to the legacy of Tony Atkinson, our former President, in inequality analysis field. We received submissions on a variety of topics such as: income inequality, top incomes, joint approach on income & wealth, child poverty, work-family life balance, inter-generational mobility, or income redistribution.
The conference was opened by Georg Mein, Dean of the Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education, University of Luxembourg and Francois Bourguignon (Paris School of Economics, France & LIS President). An introductory session on Tony Atkinson’s contribution to the advancement of inequality and poverty research and how the conference papers advance that legacy was given by Andrea Brandolini (Banca di Italia) and Timothy Smeeding (Institute for Research on Poverty, University of Wisconsin-Madison, US).
