Spatial inequality and the political economy of redistribution in African countries

Boone, Catherine - 2025

Levels of interpersonal income inequality in African countries are much higher than they were long assumed to be. The literature on politics in sub-Saharan Africa says little about the redistributive pressures arising from this, other than to argue that class politics is rarely observed in...

Market luck : skill-biased inequality and redistributive preferences

Yusof, Jeffrey; Sartor, Simona - 2025

Market forces beyond individual control are a central driver of income inequality, a phenomenon we refer to as market luck. In meritocratic societies, this raises the question of whether individuals perceive such inequalities as fair. To address this question, we conduct experiments in the US,...

Optimal redistribution : rising inequality vs. rising living standards

Ferrière, Axelle; Grübener, Philipp; Sachs, Dominik - 2025

Over the last decades, the United States has experienced a large increase in, both, income inequality and living standards. The workhorse models of optimal income taxation call for more redistribution as inequality rises. By contrast, living standards play no role for taxes and transfers in...
