The conference brings together researchers in macroeconomics, economic history, and financial history to discuss recent advances in understanding the relationship between finance and inequality. Across two half-day sessions, participants will present their work and engage in in-depth discussions. A central objective of the conference is to promote exchange and collaboration among scholars working at the intersection of macroeconomics, finance, and the historical evolution of income and wealth inequality.
