He has published a large number of papers, including some 40 for the World Bank, mainly on world inequality and poverty. His 2005 book, "Worlds Apart" covered global income disparity between countries as well as between all individuals in the world. His joint work with Jeffrey Williamson and Peter Lindert ("Economic Journal", March 2011), was considered by The Economist to "contain the germ of an important advance in thinking about inequality". Milanovic is the author of 2011's The Haves and the Have-Nots, a book of essays on income distribution; The Globalist selected The Haves and the Have-Nots as number one on its "top books of 2011". Milanovic currently serves on the advisory board for Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP). In August 2013, he was included by Foreign Policy among the top 100 "twitterati" to follow. In November 2014, he became external fellow in Center for Global Development in Washington.

He writes the blog globalinequality since May 2014.
