Inequality and Taxation

In recent years, concerns about a perceived increase in inequality of income, wealth, life expectancy, and health have grown, both among scholars and in the media. Besides work on “traditional” topics, there has also emerged a large body of literature on how carbon pricing may affect inequality.

Under the headline Inequality and Taxation, FinanzArchiv/European Journal of Public Finance together with the Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance organised a conference to be held on 27–28 October 2026 in Berlin, Harnack-Haus.
