Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Battistoni and Martinez (open access) propose a new approach for quantifying ancient inequality and its evolution by relying on inscriptions that indicate property data and artisanal remunerations, then use their approach to estimate inequality in the Greek city-state of Delos in 280 BCE and 190 BCE
- Radatz and Baten (open access) construct a new index of composite inequality over the period from 1810 to 2010, and find that the risk of a civil war outbreak increases with higher levels of within-country inequality
Also new from the Waikato working papers series:
- Valera, Holmes, and Delloro study the effects of fuel and rice prices on overall inflation in the Philippines, and find that there is a strong impact during periods of higher inflation, which they then also confirm for Indonesia, Thailand, and India
