Join us for a seminar and discussion with Olle Hammer on Monday, Nov. 27, from 4:30-6pm at the CUNY Graduate Center, Room 9116, 365 Fifth Avenue, NY 10016.

Olle Hammer is a PhD student at the Department of Economics at Uppsala University and currently visiting at Columbia University.

His presentation is on Global Earnings Inequality, 1970-2015. In his paper with Daniel Waldenström, they “estimate trends in global earnings dispersion across occupational groups using a new database covering 66 developed and developing countries between 1970 and 2015. The main finding is that global earnings inequality has declined, primarily during the 2000s, when the global Gini coefficient dropped nearly 10 points and the earnings share of the world’s poorest half doubled.”

The paper will be distributed prior to the seminar.
