Rafael Carranza

Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Government at PUC Chile. (Sitio en español).

My work explores the causes and consequences of economic inequality, with a focus on three main areas: 

• • The measurement of income and wealth inequality.

  • The intergenerational transmission of economic advantage and disadvantage.

  • The distributional dimension of socioeconomic dynamics. 

I often approach these topics - particularly the latter two - from an interdisciplinary perspective. You can find out more about my research here.

I hold a PhD in Social Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Prior to that, I obtained an MRes in Economics at University College London and an MSc in Economics at Universidad de Chile. Before my current position, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford.  Updated CV.
