Pay Transparency, Salary Negotiation & Gender Pay Gap with Ricardo Perez-Truglia

In this seminar, Ricardo Perez-Truglia will provide an overview of recent academic studies, including his own research and that of others, on pay transparency, salary negotiations, and the gender pay gap.

Ricardo Perez-Truglia is an Economics Professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management. His research focuses on a range of topics including income inequality, the gender pay gap, pay transparency and tax compliance. For example, one recent study investigates how face-to-face interactions with managers may contribute to the gender pay gap; another project explores how the extreme inequality created by billionaires affects public support for taxation of the ultra-wealthy. In 2020, Ricardo was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship, which recognizes outstanding early-career faculty with the potential to revolutionize their fields of study. 

This seminar series will give participants an opportunity to engage with research that relates to the topics discussed in the book Make Work Fair. This virtual seminar is part of the Women and Public Policy Program's weekly spring seminar series: Make Work Fair. Attendance is open to all.
