Applied Microeconomics

The Applied Microeconomics research group unites researchers working on a broad array of topics within such areas as labour economics, economics of education, health economics, family economics, urban economics, environmental economics, and the economics of science and innovation. The group operates in close collaboration with the CAGE Research Centre.

The group participates in the CAGE seminar on Applied Economics, which runs weekly on Tuesdays at 2:15pm. Students and faculty members of the group present their ongoing work in two brown bag seminars, held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1pm. Students, in collaboration with faculty members, also organise a bi-weekly reading group in applied econometrics on Thursdays at 1pm. The group organises numerous events throughout the year, including the Research Away Day and several thematic workshops.

1pm - 2pm Export as iCalendar	CAGE-AMES Workshop - Jordi Caum (Visting PhD student) S2.77 Cowling Room & MS Teams Title:: Colonial institutions and income inequality: evidence from India (1910-1916) Abstract: This paper studies the relationship between land revenue systems and the levels of agricultural income inequality in colonial India during the 1910s. The first district-level comparative estimates of agricultural income inequality are introduced using wage/income ratios. The type of settlement -which determined when land revenue demands had to be reassessed- is used as an instrument for the land revenue systems to analyse their causal impact on agricultural income inequality. Results show that districts with a larger proportion of non-landlord land revenue systems presented more egalitarian agricultural income distributions. This was due to non-landlord land revenue systems allowing for lower rents and thus a more egalitarian distribution of income. This seminar is in Cowling Room (S2.77) and also via MS Teams (link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3aeafd670486bc4ed6be08da79cf05d9ca%40thread.tacv2/1634574367248?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%2209bacfbd-47ef-4465-9265-3546f2eaf6bc%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%228ec30312-2024-48f8-8887-a0ba5de175b2%22%7d) More information \| Tags: CAGE-AMES Workshop \|
