Yale Economic Growth Center

The Yale Economic Growth Center (EGC) is a research institution at Yale University, established in 1961. It focuses on advancing economic development and reducing poverty in lower-income countries through rigorous research and data-driven insights. The EGC explores the complexities of economic growth, poverty, inequality, and climate change, particularly in marginalized communities. The center conducts extensive research initiatives, including Inclusion Economics, which aims to promote more inclusive economies, and Markets & Development, which studies market dynamics in developing countries. Additionally, the EGC examines the impact of climate change on economic development through its Climate, Energy & Growth initiative. It also offers a Master's Program in International and Development Economics, training future researchers and policy practitioners in the field. The EGC produces research outputs and policy insights, including academic papers and reports, to inform and support economic policies in developing countries. It collaborates with various stakeholders, including policymakers and organizations involved in global development, to promote sustainable growth and benefit marginalized communities.
