On 6-7 July 2018, International Workshop titled “Inequalities and Preference for Redistribution” will be held in Kyoto. [Admission Free]


Inequalities have increased over the last thirty years. However, this increase has not been the same in every country. Moreover, the perception of these inequalities differs across countries in a paradoxical way: the concern for inequalities increase is the most important in Europe, where it has been actually slighter. Differences between actual inequalities and their perception could be explained by a difference of values in the three regions of study, USA, Europe and Japan. Does the perception of inequalities matter more than the objective determinants of inequalities as it leads to different forms of redistribution? Does the fact of having different values make the concept of “fairness” take different forms in each region?
