Team

The World Inequality Lab is composed of about forty people (co-directors, coordinators, research fellows, research assistants, staff). It is based primarily at the Paris School of Economics and the University of Berkeley, California. The World Inequality Lab works in close coordination with more than 200 researchers – the WID Fellows – based in institutions around the world. All interested institutions and researchers are welcome to join our community.
