Population Growth and Inequality at BSE Summer Forum

Population Growth and Inequality at BSE Summer Forum

This year, at the BSE Summer Forum, Marcin presented our paper examining the link between wealth inequality and demographic change. In the paper, we introduce a novel decomposition that highlights the pivotal role of demographic and cohort-level dynamics in the rise of U.S. wealth inequality since 1975. We are very grateful to Enriqueta Camps and Joana Pujadas for the opportunity to take part in the workshops, and we especially thank Rainer Kotschy, Santiago Caicedo, and Yang Lu for their insightful and constructive feedback.
