Research

At the HKU Stone Centre, we are committed to producing and disseminating world-class research on socioeconomic inequality. Our scholarly output is organised into three complementary formats, designed to advance academic understanding while informing critical policy decisions.

Home / Research

Through our Research Highlights, Scholar Interviews, and Working Papers, we provide a comprehensive look at the mechanisms driving economic disparities today. Whether you are a policymaker seeking data-driven solutions or a researcher exploring emerging trends, our publications offer authoritative insights into the state of global inequality. All content is open access.

Research Highlights

Our Research Highlights showcases key insights from our latest work in a concise, accessible format. It draws out the main findings, implications, and emerging trends to help readers quickly understand why the research matters.

Scholar Interviews

Bridging the gap between academic research and public discourse, our Scholar Interviews provide a platform for leading experts to share their insights on socioeconomic inequality. We sit down with renowned economists, sociologists, and policymakers to discuss their latest work, research methodologies, and the real-world implications of their findings.

Working Papers

The Working Papers series offers an early look at the most current research being conducted at the HKU Stone Centre. Highlighting preliminary findings on wealth disparities, labour markets, and social policy, these papers are published to stimulate timely academic discussion and solicit peer feedback prior to formal journal submission.
