We are researchers working at the Department of Law at Roma Tre University. We are post-docs, researchers, and professors sharing a strong research interest in socio-economic inequalities, its measurement, causes, and implications for our society.
We host the Inequality in Rome Seminar Series since May 2022, a series of presentations from national and international scholars of ongoing research projects on economic inequality from theoretical and applied perspectives.
The GC Wealth Project, directed by Salvatore Morelli and produced by the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at the GC-CUNY jointly with the University of Roma Tre (Law Department), is a multi-year effort aimed at expanding and consolidating access to the most up-to-date research and information on wealth, wealth inequalities, and wealth transfers and related tax policies, across countries and over time.
The website is designed to provide researchers, policymakers, journalists, and other interested with open, unlimited access to an array of high-quality information and resources. The site allows users to create tailored visualizations through the interactive dashboard and to explore research and data, all freely exportable.
The GC Wealth Project website was launched in June 2023. An updated version of its data warehouse is available from December 2024.
The first seminar of the Fall 2025 session will be held by Jan Mazza (Roma Tre University), who will present his paper "Inheritance Expectations, Dynastic Altruism, and Education".
Svolvær, Norway 24-25 June 2025
This edition of the symposium focused on the intertwined fields of economic inequality, taxation and the environment. A session of the symposium has been organized targeting the topic “taxation of polluting capital”.

A new post is available on the GC Wealth Project website. In this post, we shed light on two types of wealth that go beyond the baseline definition found in national accounts: consumer durables and offshore financial wealth.
