REMINDER CALL FOR PAPERS
SEVENTH MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF ECONOMIC INEQUALITY (ECINEQ),
NEW YORK CITY JULY 17 TO JULY 19, 2017

The ECINEQ Executive Committee is pleased to announce that the Seventh Meeting of the Society for the Study of Economic Inequality (ECINEQ) will be held in New York City from July 17 to July 19, 2017.
The conference will be hosted by the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality (home to the US Office of LIS) and will be held at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, located in midtown Manhattan.


The ECINEQ conference provides a forum for rigorous analysis of inequality, poverty, and redistribution, both at the theoretical and empirical levels, as well as for discussions of the policy implications of research findings on these topics. ECINEQ aims to achieve high scholarly standards in both the selection of topics and related debates, whether they concern theoretical issues, empirica l analyses, or the design or implementation of  policies.

The three invited keynote speakers are:
- Frank Cowell (London School of Economics)
- Marc Fleurbaey (Princeton University)
- Peter H. Lindert (University of California - Davis)
The programme will also include the inaugural Stone Lecture on Wealth Inequality by Gabriel Zucman (University of California – Berkeley).

Submissions:
The deadline for paper submission is February 15, 2017 (updated deadline). Only reasonably complete papers should be submitted. Although the main focus of ECINEQ is the economics of inequality and poverty, high-quality submissions from social science disciplines other than economics are welcomed.

Submitted papers should be in English, may not exceed 15,000 words, and must be sent in PDF format (max 4MB). Submissions in other formats will not be considered.

More information and the link for paper submissions and re gistration can be found at:
