The Program for Research on Inequality
Director: Ellora Derenoncourt
The Program for Research on Inequality (PRI) aims to foster community among scholars of inequality in economics, at Princeton and beyond, and to actively support research in this area. PRI will support graduate and undergraduate student research on economic inequality, host short- and long-term visitors, and hold conferences or other events, among other activities.
Ellora Derenoncourt is the founding director of PRI. Her research focuses on labor economics, economic history, and the study of inequality.
