Our Topics

We engage in both the thinking and the doing of bringing new economic thinking in to public policy and focus on four thematic priorities to guide this work. We understand these themes to be deeply interlinked and interconnected.

We are looking into redesigning the policymaking process to deliver more systemic policy outcomes. This includes work on innovative governance and design processes, wellbeing economy policy design, co-creation, process facilitation and capacity building.

We ask how how to embed social cohesion into economic policy. This includes work on economic drivers of regional, vertical, and horizontal inequalities, the social impact of climate policies and a just transition.

We investigate how to define and measure progress towards economic development in the 21st century that fosters wellbeing, resilience and regeneration. This includes work on indicators and monitoring, goals and targets as well as decoupling economic stability from economic growth.

We explore how to embed the green transition in economic policy. This includes work on economic policy, comprising fiscal and industrial policy.
