On September 10, Samuel Lado defended his doctoral thesis, entitled "Essays on the Effects of School-Meal Programmes," supervised by Sara Ayllón.

EQUALITAS researcher Xavier Ramos has published, together with Timo Verlaat and Federico Todeschini, the article entitled “The employment effects of a means-tested guaranteed income policy” in the Journal of Public Economics.

This report has been commissioned by the Conselleria de Drets Socials from a team of 8 experts, among whom is Sara Ayllón, member of EQUALITAS.

The member of EQUALITAS, Carlos Gradín, performed the laudatio in an event that took place at the Palacio de la Magdalena, headquarters of the UIMP in Santander.

The theme of the sessions focused on inequality, poverty, equal opportunities and public policies.

In June 2025, EQUALITAS researchers Gustavo A. Marrero, Juan César Palomino and Dmitry Petrov, together with Clara Martínez-Toledano, launched the project “New Spain Wealth Atlas: Understanding Regional Wealth Inequality in Spain” in collaboration with the World Inequality Lab and EsadeEcPol.

EQUALITAS researcher Pedro Salas-Rojo and co-authors (Carlos J. Gil-Hernández, Guillem Vidal-Lorda and Davide Villani) have won the Aldi Hagenaars Memorial Award for their paper “Wealth inequality and stratification by social classes in 21st-century Europe.”

The workshop, organized by doctoral researchers from the Department of Economics at the University of Alcalá, aims to be a meeting space for early-career researchers in the Social Sciences.
