The Center for Advanced Studies: Finance & Inequality (CASFI) offers Junior and Senior Fellowships for researchers in economic and business history.
CASFI brings together early-career and established researchers to explore the historical relationships between the development of financial systems and the evolution of income and wealth inequality. The center provides an interdisciplinary research environment and encourages exchange between scholars working on broadly defined topics related to finance and inequality from a historical perspective.
During their stay, fellows:
- present their research
- participate in workshops and conferences
- collaborate with CASFI researchers
