Who We Are

We are a group of Harvard, Stanford, Brown, and UChicago undergraduate researchers who conduct pro bono economic policy research for governments, intergovernmental organizations, and policy think tanks. We are supported by an annual cohort of PhD candidates, professors of economics, and industry professionals.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to produce unbiased and empirical research for under-resourced and under-staffed policymakers.

FAQs
