Our approach
CeSWIG is distinctive in our effort to build new datasets for research. We apply quantitative approaches to policy questions of local and global significance. We also work collaboratively across disciplines and institutions.
Our research is micro, macro, global and local. It analyses challenges to productivity growth, labour market effects of AI, macroeconomic stability, political economy, family and households, and sustainable development. It focuses on issues facing individuals as well as the entire economy.
Our members participate in projects involving extensive data collection. They also work with capacity building, evidence-based policy advice, and community engagement.
