Graduate students Kaan Cankat and Pablo Zarate will receive grants from Princeton's Program for Research on Inequality (PRI), awarded by PRI director Ellora Derenoncourt.  The grants were awarded to a total of six PHD candidates for their innovative work on inequality. 

Kaan's research project, "The Origins and Distributional Consequences of the Property Tax Revolts of the 1960s and 1970s," aims to understand the connections between our system of local public finance (i.e. who pays taxes for what services provided by the government) and inequality in the United States.

Pablo's research project, "Job Prospects, Informality and Long-Term Labor Market Outcomes for Youth: Evidence from Chile," aims to investigate the long-term effects of labor market entry through informal employment on workers' subsequent career trajectories in the context of Chile.
