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/ .

Extreme Poverty in Wealthy Nations: Evidence from France 1: KU Leuven; 2: Brown University; 3: Toulouse School of Economics; 4: University of Mannheim; 5: Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago We offer new empirical facts and insights into the determinants, dynamics, and consequences of extreme poverty in an advanced market economy, based on a novel administrative data set from France’s largest food assistance charity that is unique in its comprehensive coverage of low-income households -- in particular of homeless individuals. First, extreme poverty is largely a transient phenomenon, but a very large fraction of households is at risk of falling into food and housing insecurity. Second, children and teens are vastly over-represented in food and housing insecurity relative to their share in the overall French population. Third, inflows are highly sensitive to local macroeconomic conditions and policies while outflows only depend on individual characteristics, with an especially strong duration dependence. Fourth, housing is a luxury good, with marginal propensities to consume and price elasticities equal to zero below a subsistence threshold.
