Our Research.
Advancing research on socio-economic inequality in Asia through data-driven and interdisciplinary approaches.
The Stone Centre conducts research on income distribution, social mobility, and the broader impacts of inequality across societies. By fostering collaboration among scholars, the Centre supports work that informs public policy and contributes to a deeper global understanding of inequality.
Research Highlights
Rigorous, pre-publication research from leading and emerging scholars. Our discussion papers present new evidence on income, housing, education, and health inequality — often before formal journal publication.
Scholar Interviews
Conversations with the world’s foremost inequality researchers. Through in-depth conversations, we unpack complex academic concepts and translate them into accessible ideas.
Working Papers
Early-stage research from Centre affiliates and visiting fellows. These papers reflect work in progress, inviting feedback and collaboration before finalisation.
