    The seminar has three overarching goals: First, it will introduce students to the current research on belief and preference formation on economic inequality and redistribution. In doing that, we will take particular emphasis on the difference between redistribution and inequality on the supply side (market incomes) and on the welfare demand side (taxes and benefits), considering both wealth and the more commonly studied income inequalities. Other topics may also include regional segregation, gender gaps, and ethnic inequalities (all in the context of economic inequalities) depending on students' interests. Second, it will provide students with a basic understanding and the necessary tools to move from the literature, over the research question, to developing a research design and starting a research analysis. Third, the seminar will provide instructions on how to write short research proposals and a short empirical paper concerning the topic of the seminar. To achieve these goals, students will read compulsory literature and answer related questions ahead of each lesson. In addition, they will hand in a first research question, develop a research proposal, and write a first draft of their short empirical paper by the end of the semester.
