The great problems of the world do not neatly fit into bins. Our research approach is
inter-disciplinary, harnessing economics, law, public administration, engineering, statistics
and science. We create new data and knowledge. We apply high standards of
evidence and logic to find resonant explanations and authentic solutions.
The best ideas
emerge from good faith debate between diverse points of view. We intensively collaborate, and
build community.

Others
Other fields in which research is taking place
We actively seek out the important questions of the age. We are professional skeptics on data quality. We engage in improving measurement. We value ethnographic methods, talking to practitioners, mastering miniscule details of the institutional landscape, building systems for sustained data gathering in order to understand the passions of all actors. We bring sound methods to our diagnosis and derive insights into the workings of the world. We work on a sustained basis, over long horizons, to develop wisdom in a field. We apply creativity when designing solutions for the problems faced by decision makers, whether in government and in private firms. We participate in public debates and knowledge sharing. We build collaborations in strategic thinking and practical solutions.
