Dr Eleni Karagiannaki
Eleni Karagiannaki is an Assistant Professorial Research Fellow in CASE. She has done work on range of issues relating to poverty and inequality measurement and analysis with a particular focus on understanding how the tax and benefit systems, the labour market and the families interplay to shape socio-economic inequalities and the transmission of inequalities across generations. She has published papers on cross-country differences in wealth inequality and on factors driving changes in wealth inequality over time, on the effects of inheritance in shaping the wealth distribution and on the intergenerational effects of wealth. In addition to her work on the implications of intrahousehold sharing of resources on poverty, inequality and material deprivation, some of her recent research work looks at the relationship between persistent income poverty and material deprivation across different EU countries; the intergenerational fairness of the tax and benefit systems in different EU countries (both funded by European Commission Directorate General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion).
