Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Inequality and Redistribution: Evidence from the U.S. School Districts 1: ESADE, Spain; 2: Carlos III University, Spain; 3: CESifo In the face of persistently rising income inequality, the capacity to redistribute becomes essential, particularly in the context of human capital formation. Using panel data on public education funding across U.S. school districts between 2005 and 2019, we document a negative response of local funding to higher inequality. This effect is driven by reduced redistribution in poorer districts, while in wealthier districts, it is mitigated by the positive impact of a larger tax base. The results remain robust to an instrumental variable approach that addresses the endogeneity of the local income distribution. Our findings emphasize a new inequality amplification mechanism, in line with recent theoretical work.
