Supervisors: Dr Constantinos Alexiou and Professor Joseph Nellis
Application Details: The PhD candidate should hold a minimum 2.1 class undergraduate degree
in economics, finance or related discipline and have passed, or expect to have passed by autumn,
a Master’s degree or equivalent research experience in a work setting.
See http://bit.ly/154nhb7 for English language requirements.
Funding Details: Funding may be available on a competitive basis through the
Cranfield School of Management studentship scheme: http://bit.ly/1BgS94p

Income distribution has been at the forefront of academic and policy debate for
many decades in many countries. Year after year, the UN has reported a growing
inequality gap in all countries, developed and developing. Such a growing
disparity is currently particularly pronounced in the USA where those at the top
1% of the income pyramid have witnessed a three-fold increase in real income
since 1980 - while the living standards of the average worker have barely risen.
Some would argue that this growing inequality gives top earners greater ability to
influence the political process (through think-tanks, lobbying, campaign funds).
The purpose of this research is to explore in depth the causes, consequences and
policy implications of rising income inequality. The research may be conducted at a
national level or on the basis of a comparative study. It is likely to be empirically based
using official statistics.
Within this context we seek to provide an international platform to assess and consider
the scale and implications of the growing income gap across the world from the
standpoint of society, government and business.
We are currently seeking
a strong PhD candidate to
engage in an empirical study
of the causes, consequences
and policy implications of
rising income inequality
across the world.
