About this listen

Recorded at the 2025 annual conference of the Structural Transformation and Economic Growth Programme, held at the University of Oxford.

We know that inequality has an impact on development – but there are many types of inequality, and equally many ways to measure it. One of its most important dimensions, especially at the early stages of the transformation of an economy, is land inequality. Harrison Mitchell of the University of California San Diego talks to Tim Phillips about the empirical relationship between rural landholding inequality in one large state in India, agricultural productivity, and the emergence of other ways to earn money.
