Research
At UHILL, our research is guided by several key questions:
- How has the structure of inequality evolved over time, and what lessons can we draw for the present from historical trends in inequality?
- What connections exist between structural changes in the labor market and economic inequality?
- How have unions influenced wages, inequality, and employment patterns?
- In what ways has labor mobility shifted throughout the process of industrialisation?
- How did firm wage premiums contribute to the decline in inequality starting in the interwar period?
- What is the long-term impact of childhood spatial conditions on future educational and labor market outcomes?
- How has the exposure to pollutants varied across socio-economic groups historically, and what are the long-term effects on health and labor market outcomes?
