1st Workshop of CASFI
The first Workshop of the Center for Advanced Studies "Finance and Inequality" (CASFI) includes various presentations to discuss the state of the research on the topic of finance and inequality.
Over the course of two days, participants presented and discussed current research projects exploring the complex and evolving relationship between financial systems and economic inequality across time and countries.
The workshop provided an open and collaborative environment for early-stage ideas as well as advanced work, encouraging critical engagement and interdisciplinary exchange. It also served to strengthen the growing research network of the CAS and to shape its agenda moving forward.
