¿Sabíais que nuestra compañera @olgacanto.bsky.social forma parte del Consejo del nuevo International Panel on Inequality (IPI) impulsado por el G20 y Joseph Stiglitz? 👇Puedes leer mas sobre ello en: www.weforum.org/stories/2026...

New ROIW paper with Gabriela Zapata. The (Shapley) contribution of inherited circumstances to labor market #inequality in Chile is 17-36%, depending on where in the distribution we put more emphasis, and has remained persistent: bit.ly/ineqop (New SSC Stata code: ineqop.ado, bit.ly/sineqop)
One of the most striking phenomena of the last few decades has been the rise of a new global middle class driven by fast economic growth in Asia. I address it in a new @redequalitas.bsky.social WP, endogenously defining current boundaries, looking at its long-term evolution #WIID bit.ly/midlcass
