Team

The WIL is composed of about thirty researchers and staff – the majority based in Paris. It is hosted at the Paris School of Economics and the University of Berkeley, California. Our team works in close coordination with the WID Fellows – an international network of more than 150 researchers contributing to the database. All interested institutions and researchers are welcome to join our community.
