The World Inequality Lab is pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the third World Inequality Conference to be held at the Paris School of Economics on 4 and 5 June 2026. The conference aims to provide an international forum for researchers working on inequality and related fields, with sessions open for attendance to policy makers, journalists, and the public.

The conference will be structured around three pillars:

• Release of the Global Justice Report: The report will explore what a just distribution of socio-economic and environmental resources could look like at the global level from 2026 to 2100 – both between and within countries – in a way that is compatible with planetary boundaries.
• Keynote Sessions: Speakers will include academics, policymakers and writers.
• Paper Presentations: Accepted submissions will be organized into parallel theme-wise sessions.

Paper Submissions (deadline december 1st)

We welcome submissions of papers on inequality (broadly defined), with a focus on the key research areas covered by the World Inequality Lab, namely:

• Measurement of historical income and wealth dynamics
• Environmental inequalities
• Global wealth distribution dynamics
• Factors contributing to income and wealth inequality
• Political inequalities
• Gender inequality
• Inequality perceptions
• Taxation and tax evasion
• Methodological advances in the measurement of inequalities

Proposal submissions must be made via an online form, which can be accessed together with the comprehensive details of the call on this page of the World Inequality Lab.
