Last but never least, Stone Center Affiliated Scholars Stephen Jenkins and Chico Ferreira contributed research as well as their tremendous leadership. They are past and future ECINEQ Presidents, respectively. Kudos to LSE! @stephenpjenkin1.bsky.social @lseinequalities.bsky.social

I am in Washington DC, my former home city, for #ECINEQ Meeting. I'm here, first time in 2025, taking it all in. Directly in front of my hotel, on New Hampshire Ave, is a strikingly dignified oak tree. It is named #Democracy Tree and it bears this plaque. The work goes on, the cause endures. #DCVote

LIS Workshop, Day 4. Philippe Van Kerm gave a brilliant presentation of a "toolbox" for income distribution analysis, covering decomposition, regression, & more. He interspersed equations with original illustrations. IMHO, this one's a keeper. #inequality

New York City makes history.
June 14, 2025. Much unfolded in the US yesterday. Tanks rolled. Protesters rallied. And Vivian Gornick - born a good number of Flag Days ago - turned 90. Friends (some from #CCNY back in the day), comrades, and family gathered in NYC to celebrate Vivian and to usher her into the coming decade. 🥂🎈🍎
