The same shock. Four lives. Who gets caught by the safety net?
Course focus
Welfare states, inequality & the politics of redistribution
Duration
50–70 min including reflection
Before you begin
No advance reading. Concepts, model rules and dated country evidence are supplied.
What you produce
A field report with model comparisons, country evidence, a revised explanation and a transfer argument
What the model leaves open
Households, wealth trajectories, voting and coalition rules are simplified fictional teaching models. Country evidence is frozen at 2024 and uses separately ranked income and net-wealth distributions. The comparison does not identify the causal effect of welfare policies.
