This seminar introduces a novel, widely applicable approach to measuring wealth inequality at local levels in the United States
About this Event

Part of the Inequalities Seminar Series

Speaker:
Dr Joel Suss, Data Journalist, Financial Times and Visiting Fellow, LSE III

Very little is known about how wealth and wealth inequality vary sub-nationally. We've developed a novel, widely applicable approach to measuring wealth inequality at local levels in the United States from 1960 onwards using machine learning and ensemble methods. Further innovations involve going from the regional to the neighbourhood level. We then use these estimates to describe variation in wealth and wealth inequality over time and place, and the impact this variation has had for a number of important outcomes.
