About us
The Economic Growth Center (EGC) is Yale’s hub for economics research and teaching on issues concerning lower-income economies and advancement of their populations. EGC is based in the Yale Economics Department and collaborates closely with several entities across the University including the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies and the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs. EGC was founded in 1961 with support from the Ford Foundation as the first research center in a major US university focused on the quantitative study of lower-income economies. It soon became the host for Yale’s master’s program in International and Development Economics (IDE), which continues to train development researchers and policy practitioners. Today, EGC researchers examine the links between economic growth, structural transformation, and individual outcomes, with a focus on how inequality and a changing climate affect individuals, especially those in marginalized groups. Others directly examine the political economy of development and ask how public policy can affect economic justice in lower-income settings. Many research projects are in collaboration with governments and other policy counterparts in developing countries, creating a direct channel through which research insights benefit the lives of millions of people. The Center supports the wider research community by enabling open access to large-scale surveys conducted by its researchers. It also hosts the Program in Economic History, which supports historical analysis of economic growth in developed as well as developing countries.

When Chinese workers migrate away from cities with rising pollution, how are aggregate productivity, welfare, and inequality affected? In a new article published in the American Economic Journal, EGC affiliate Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak of Yale School of Management and Yale Research Initiative on Innovation & Scale (Y-RISE) explores how workers across China are relocating because of pollution – and why, with policy and physical barriers to migration, unskilled workers are bearing the brunt of pollution’s economic costs.

With the possible disruption to international trade relationships on the horizon, how did the world’s "bystander" countries benefit from the last US-China #TradeWar? A new study in the American Economic Review: Insights by EGC affiliates Penny Goldberg and Amit Khandelwal, (both of Yale Department of Economics and Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs) along with coauthors Pablo Fajgelbaum, Patrick Kennedy, and Daria Taglioni, reveals that global trade did not collapse as a result of the US-China trade war. Rather, it adapted, indicating signaling a transformation in globalization rather than its end. Read the EGC Research Summary by Adam Walker: #Trade #GlobalTrade #DevelopmentEconomics #GlobalDev
