The conference will take stock of what we know about the links between welfare state policies and people’s behavior in Europe and the OECD countries. It will also bring together an interdisciplinary group of sociologists and political scientists from Europe, the United States, and Australia to examine the links between welfare state policies and people’s preferences, skills, needs, and behaviors.

Sponsored by the Cornell Institute for European Studies and the Center for the Study of Inequality.

Time: 9am to 5pm
