Policy and Practice Research Lab
Building Inclusive Growth (BIG)
PIs: Joseph Kaboski (economics), Viva Bartkus (business), Taryn Dinkelman (economics), Lakshmi Iyer (economics), Patrizio Piraino (Ford Program)
Housed within the College of Arts & Letters, the Building Inclusive Growth (BIG) Lab brings together faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates to address the root causes of global poverty. Understanding that individuals in poverty face a complex set of barriers, the Lab's researchers investigate the role of myriad factors in creating and sustaining inclusive growth, including institutional constraints, poor policies, market failures, societal biases, and the lack of human capital or employment opportunities.
The BIG lab is unified by a common commitment to economic development and a strong emphasis on quantitatively-oriented methodologies. The group welcomes researchers from varied disciplinary backgrounds and institutional affiliations.
