Our Initiatives
EGC initiatives enable communities of researchers led by Yale faculty to collaborate on pressing questions surrounding growth, inequality, sustainability, and poverty reduction.
A research initiative at EGC bringing together methods and questions from industrial organization, trade, and development economics to produce a deep understanding of markets in low- and middle-income countries.
Combining research from development, environmental and energy economics, and industrial organization to yield policy-relevant insights on how to sustainably and equitably increase economic welfare in low- and middle-income countries.
Promoting inclusive institutions, economies, and societies, this policy-engaged research initiative spans Inclusion Economics at Yale University – a collaboration between the Economic Growth Center and the MacMillan Center – and offices in India and Nepal.
Bringing together a cross-cutting team of Yale economists to explore the economic dimensions and consequences of gender inequality, and to impact gender-intentional policymaking in low- and middle-income countries.
Building a historical comprehensive database of immigrant flows from Spain and Africa to the Americas – a window on the human capital brought by voluntary and involuntary migrants and their migration networks.
EGC research in LAC uses interdisciplinary and quantitative approaches to understand economic and human development, pervasive inequalities, social protection, market integration, and how these topics interact with the region’s history.
Leveraging empirical advancements in data science, computer science, statistics, and other related fields to study and promote development in low- and middle-income settings.
Using empirical evidence, econometric tools, and appreciation of institutional context to understand how economies functioned in different times and places, and how present-day economic problems reflect earlier development.
To advance work on theoretical, empirical, and quantitative trade models, trade policy, political economy, and international finance, EGC supports the International Trade group at Yale – faculty from across Economics and the School of Management.
