CALL FOR PAPERS
III WORLD BANK CONFERENCE ON INEQUALITY
INEQUALITY, POLITICS AND POWER
World Bank, Washington, DC
5-6 June 2006
The distributions of income, wealth and political power are
jointly determined, with economic status both affecting and

impact of inequality on the nature of institutions and on
policy choice is one of the key channels through which
income and wealth distributions affect economic
performance. The III World Bank Conference on Inequality
will focus on the interaction between economic and
political inequalities, and on their consequences for
institutional and economic development. Theoretical and
empirical papers on any aspect of this subject are invited
for consideration by the program committee.
CONFERENCE DETAILS:
The conference will take place on 5-6 June 2006 in
Washington, DC. It will be a plenary-only gathering, with
space for up to eighteen papers and 30 minutes allocated to
each paper. Accommodation and travel costs (economy) will
be covered by the organizers.
PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Full papers must be submitted by March 15th, 2006. Please
send an electronic version to:
Email: MAILTO:bmilanovic@worldbank.org
Decisions will be sent out by April 15th.

caps, and workers' compensation. Empirical work is
preferred, but strong analytic pieces will also be
included.
