Social tables are a treasure trove of information - easy to fall into a Rabbit Hole. One example: Mean income of a forestry inspector was higher than for a banker in 1863 Prussia. See my new paper featuring German Social Tables: osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/2f…

How unequal was a rural society in the Roman Empire? A new WP by Philipp Erfurth @theErforce examines income inequality in rural Roman Egypt in 1st century using daily social tables that build on data from papyri.

Paper 2/3 of my PhD now out! How did unification in 19th century impact income inequality in DE and IT? Using new social tables for Germany, I study balance of power between core & periphery in newly unified states.

The 1848 Revolution is possibly one of the most interesting episodes for class/social analysis. It is not surprising that in the Cagé-Piketty book it gets much analyzed, incl. Tocqueville's and Marx's writings on it.

New WP alert 🚨 In new #LIS WP, I find evidence of regional inequality convergence using @lisdata disaggregated at subnational/regional level. Convergence is associated with unitary rather than federal state systems.

Bracing for a summer-Twitter-feed full of: Shame on <insert airline name> for cancelling my flight to <insert destination>! Will never fly with <insert airline name> again!
Boxer at rest - Incredible ~4th century BC Bronze statue on Display at Palazzo Massimo in Rome. Visited the Massimo several times and never more than a few dozen people. When in Rome avoid the crowds at Trevi Fountain and go see the Boxer (and amazing Roman mosaics)..

!New WP Alert! In my new Working Paper, I examine regional inequalities in Habsburg regions from 19th century until today. The findings provides a (small) glimpse at economic history of Central and Eastern Europe through lens of convergence in the past 150 years. A thread 1/n
Lastly, from 2000-2018 there is significant evidence of convergence. Yet despite convergence and EU cohesion policy, a large number of regions is still well below their relative levels of 1870 and overall inequality across regions today is still well above levels in 19th century.
