The Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics (CTNTE) annual conference has a title of ‘ Inequality: trends, causes, consequences, relevant policies’
The conference will be held on Thursday 22 March, 2018 at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge, UK
The CTNTE 2018 conference will bring together a carefully selected set of eight papers by renown academics across Europe on inequalities in economic systems. Inequality has been considered a problem by many academics and policy makers for a long time now and recently there has been some evidence of increasing inequalities in the society. Our speakers will focus on the causes and consequences of inequality along with the importance of tackling inequality and recommend potential policies to reduce it, for example, tax reforms. The talks will cover different aspects of inequality – from income to gender – and explore links between inequality and economic growth or financialisaton and financial crisis.
