Rafael Carranza

Assistant Professor, School of Government, UC Chile

My research studies the causes and consequences of economic inequality, including earnings, income and wealth inequality, intergenerational mobility, inequality of opportunity, elites, redistribution, and labour markets.

I hold a PhD in Social Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Before my current position, I was a Postdoctoral Research Officer at the University of Oxford.

I am based at the School of Government, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, in Santiago.
