Cartagena Conference

LACIR authors met in Cartagena between March 8 and 10, 2023, for the first conference of the LACIR project. The conference was articulated around a keynote presentation by Imran Rasul (UCL) and 11 panels focusing on various sub-themes, including outlining inequality trends in the LAC region, the drivers of inequality in its multiple dimensions, and the different roles played by the governments to address the persistent and exceptionally high levels of inequality in the region. In each panel, an external panelist provided comments relevant to a group of two (or three) chapters of the Review and discussed key findings and suggestions for future policies extensively with the authors and the audience.
