During December 2006 – March 2007 I spent four very inspiring months conducting research on income distribution and redistribution at UNU-WIDER in Helsinki followed up by a month at the University of Tallinn teaching a course on the welfare state.
UNU-WIDER stands for “United Nations University – World Institute for Development Economics Research” and is a leading international research institute specializing in analyses of global trends in the distribution of living conditions (income, wealth, poverty) and the conditions for sustainable and equitable growth.

Below are a few pictures of some of the people at WIDER and a few from wonderful Tallinn (click to enlarge).
