Summary

This site presents the work of Emmanuel Saez, Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley and Director of the Stone Center on Wealth and Income Inequality. His research, conducted with Piketty and others, analyzes income and wealth trends, distributional impacts of tax policy, and economic inequality using public data. The homepage provides links to publications, CV, working papers, and teaching materials. It serves as a hub for scholars exploring progressive taxation and wealth distribution.
