What We Do
We carry out data-driven research on the causes and consequences of international trade and finance and on the importance of finance in shaping how economies adapt to globalization.
We bring a variety of novel data sources and empirical methods to bear on these questions, including measures of financial development, trade and capital flows, at the state and local level, high frequency financial data, and cross-country historical data. Our hope is that better empirical evidence on key macroeconomic questions will increase the role of data-driven decision-making, and reduce the role of ideology, in trade and financial policy.
As a byproduct of our research, we develop new datasets that other researchers can use to study these questions, and join in the debate.
