Project description
Analysing distributional macroeconomics in the short and long run
Distributional macroeconomics deals with macroeconomic questions in terms of distributions of microeconomic variables such as income or wealth rather than just aggregates. This approach makes it possible to examine the distributional implications of macroeconomic trends, shocks or policies, and to examine the two-way interaction between these distributions and the macroeconomy. With this in mind, the EU-funded DisMaLS project aims to advance the distributional macroeconomics agenda both theoretically and empirically. Theoretically, it will do so by developing new theories of the income and wealth distributions and their interactions with the macroeconomy in both the short and long term. Empirically, it will analyse high-quality Norwegian administrative data to enrich these theories.
