It was a wonderful event at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social today with an enthusiastic and packed house to hear @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, @mayor.nyc.gov and I talk about the absolute necessity for global societies to tax the ultra rich. It's not radical to think they should pay their fair share too

The retreat was great fun and very insightful. Very honoured to be part of this.

In a new @ineq-wu.bsky.social @wuvienna.bsky.social , we present a short overview of our paper (in German): research.wu.ac.at/ws/portalfil...

People misperceive their rank in the wealth distribution: the wealthy underestimate how much they have compared to others, and people at the bottom of the distribution think that they are doing better compared to others than they actually do. Our research shows that misperceptions shape for savings.

📄 New III working paper: This paper describes a new public-access online database containing internationally comparable estimates of inequality of opportunity for seventy-two countries, covering two-thirds of the world’s population. 🔗 buff.ly/3IEgjiU
