Inclusion Economics at Yale University is a policy-engaged research initiative based out of the Economic Growth Center and the MacMillan Center, collaborating with Inclusion Economics India Centre at IFMR and Inclusion Economics Nepal at Governance Lab – as well as colleagues at other universities. The initiative builds on a number of multi-year studies and policy engagements that began at Evidence for Policy Design at Harvard Kennedy School, as well as new projects. Program-affiliated hub offices based outside of Yale are independent research centers accountable to their home institutions.
Drawing insights from various disciplines, Inclusion Economics research focuses on a set of linked activities:
1. Innovative data collection to identify who is failing to access resources they need, and the invisible social and power structures that constrain opportunity.
2. High-quality research to understand how to promote and sustain inclusive and accountable institutions.
3. Close engagement with stakeholders ranging from government officials and local researchers to marginalized individuals to ensure research addresses policy-relevant questions and provides timely insights.
4. Communication of data-driven insights to shape narratives and understanding on inclusion.
