| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In 2023, I have examined the related literauture about inequalit and innovation, including theoretical and empirical studies. I have worked on reviewing these studies by summarizing and anlayzing those. I have attended several international conferences and seminars in which I makde presentations about the effect of technological progress on inequality, and also the experience of Korea. I published several papers based on these research. Besides, I have attempted to find and collect international datasets on income and wealth inequality, and also those on innovation such as patents and total factor productivity.

Reason
I thikn that the research progress is as I planned. I plan to make more efforts to develop my own framework to analyzie the relationship between inequality and innovation, together with the efforts to find more data for empirical study.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In 2024 and 2025, I will develop three areas of my research. First, I will summarize and present the thoeretical reasonging on how income and wealth inequality is associated with innovation. Second, I will think of the relevant empirical specifications and methods to examine this relationship. Finally, I will examine experiences of several countries on inequality and innovation to emphasize the importance of inclusive and sustainable growth with technological progress, by checking several countries.
