Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rising income inequality has become the pervasive feature of modern economies. However, disagreement ensues as to what is driving these trends and what policy makers can do about them. Moreover, some contributors to income inequality seem to exhibit reinforcing dynamics through their adverse impact on education or labour market mobility, thereby creating poverty traps.
This special issue calls for novel contributions to an improved understanding of the drivers of income inequality, their interactions with labour market outcomes as well as new policy approaches to address them. Both theoretical and empirical contributions are being sought that shed new light on the role of technology, globalisation, climate change, demography and political uncertainty on rising income inequality and polarization with an emphasis on labour market mechanisms that can make these dynamics intelligible.
Contributions with novel methodological approaches, including from complex system theory such as agent-based modelling or social network analysis, or mobilizing alternative, non-standard datasets such as online job posting data are particularly encouraged for submission.
