Professor of Economics
Columbia University
at time of fellowship
2019 to 2020
Kopczuk will work on measurement of trends in income inequality. In particular, using corporate tax data, he will analyze the extent to which retained corporate earnings have affected prior measurements of income at the top of the distribution. He will also explore how the movements of high-income and high-skilled migrants have affected trends in income inequality in both their destination and origin countries.
