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 and the Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance invite submissions for a conference to be held on 27–28 October 2026 in Berlin, Harnack-Haus.
Contributions may address, for example, topics such as:
· The incidence of capital taxation
· Redistributive impacts and efficiency effects of wealth and inheritance taxes
· Redistributional effects of carbon pricing
· Inequality and aggressive tariff policies
· Taxing high-net-worth individuals
We welcome empirical and theoretical papers, as well as policy-oriented contributions on Fiscal Policy in Action. FinanzArchiv/European Journal of Public Finance follows a policy of giving a fair chance to empirical papers reporting insignificant results.
