ECINEQ Working Paper Series

As part of ECINEQ's commitment to improve the interaction between actors in the fields of economics inequality and related areas, we are launching the ECINEQ Working Paper Series. The aim is to disseminate scientific advances among colleagues and to the society at large.

 

The Society encourages members to submit their work for publication in ECINEQ WPS.

Please follow these guidelines: Papers should be sent to Maria Ana Lugo, page size A4, in Word or PDF format. The main text should start in a new page. ECINEQ WP are also available at EconPapers: http://econpapers.repec.org/paper/inqinqwps/
