Overview
Our research explores how shifting economic forces—trade flows, inflation cycles, labor markets, and technological change—shape real lives.
We translate complex data into clear insights that inform policy, guide institutions, and empower communities.
Objectives
- Identify macro trends that influence livelihoods, equity, and opportunity.
- Evaluate policy options using evidence-driven, comparative analysis.
- Design practical interventions with measurable social outcomes.
Focus Areas
1. Inclusive Growth
We assess how growth is distributed across regions and demographics, highlighting pathways that reduce poverty and expand access to education, health, and finance.
2. Labor & Skills
We map job creation, automation risk, and skills gaps, developing reskilling strategies that align education systems with emerging sectors.
3. Digital & Financial Inclusion
We study how digital payments, fintech, and data infrastructure can broaden participation in formal economies while safeguarding privacy and trust.
4. Sustainability & Resilience
We evaluate climate-related economic risks, supply-chain resilience, and transition finance to support low-carbon, shock-resistant development.
Methods
- Econometric modeling and counterfactual evaluation using panel and time-series data.
- Mixed-methods fieldwork combining surveys, interviews, and administrative data.
- Open, reproducible analytics with transparent datasets and peer review.
Impact & Outcomes
Findings inform public and institutional decisions—targeting subsidies effectively, optimizing workforce programs, and prioritizing infrastructure that raises long-term productivity.
We track impact with clear metrics: income mobility, employment quality, digital access, and climate resilience.
Get Involved
- Policy labs for governments and nonprofits seeking tailored analysis.
- Research fellowships for students and early-career scholars.
- Data collaboratives for secure, privacy-preserving sharing of insights.
Together, we can convert economic intelligence into social progress—turning evidence into action where it matters most.
