The Center for Research in Macroeconomics of Inequalities (Made), based at the University of São Paulo (FEA/USP), is dedicated to understanding and discussing the economic causes and consequences of the multiple facets of inequality, with a special focus on the Brazilian reality.
Made actively contributes to academic debate and the development of public policies, fostering dialogue between researchers, policymakers, and representatives of organized civil society. It seeks, in doing so, to broaden access to economic knowledge from a critical perspective, both theoretical and empirical.
Furthermore, Made collaborates with other national and international research centers, working to establish the fight against inequality as a pillar of state policies in Brazil and worldwide.
Made researchers maintain constant contact with the academic community, presenting papers at national and international conferences, giving lectures, and participating in debates in Brazil and abroad. In addition to being engaged in research initiatives with organizations such as the United Nations (ILO, UNEP), the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE), Oxfam, the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), the Institute for Applied Economic Research (Ipea), among others, since its formation, Made researchers have contributed publications to academic journals such as the Cambridge Journal of Economics, Journal of Evolutionary Economics, Metroeconomica, Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, Economic Modeling, Review of Keynesian Economics, and Review of Political Economy.
