This session has been cancelled. Title: Wealth accumulation, inequality and growth in the long run; new perspectives derived from individual and family data Organizers:
Jérôme Bourdieu (INRA, France), Paul-André Rosenthal (EHESS and INED, France)
and Akiko Suwa (INRA-DELTA, France)
Description
of the session: Economists as well as historians have shown increasing
interest in the links between growth and inequality (Lindert etc.). The
various forms of capital accumulation and transmission -capital being intended
not only as economic capital but as other forms of capital as well- play
a crucial role in the growth and inequality persitence patterns. In addition
to analyses of macro-economic data, a number of contributions raise new
questions and point out new results as to the inter-generational mechanisms
underlying those patterns. Those contributions exploit novel economic and
demographic individual data sources, covering a long historical period,
and sometimes containing genealogic reconstitutions of families. The aim
of the session would be to give an opportunity for researchers engaged
into mainly national programmes to meet together and confront their empirical
sources and methodologies as well as their results.
