Affiliated DepartmentsThe educational experiences offered by IDE are strengthened and enriched by the program's close links to several departments that support specialized research and teaching. Economic Growth Center
The Economic Growth Center's primary mission is to advance understanding, through both theoretical and empirical research, of the processes of economic development within the developing countries and the relationships between these countries and the economically advanced nations. The results of Center research are designed to be relevant to the policy formulation and decision making of national governments, international organizations, and others. The current research focus includes projects on economic development processes, international economic interdependence, gender differences in health and human resources, agricultural research and extension, technology choice and transfer, immigration and domestic labor supply, agriculture and rural development, savings and capital flows, and taxation.
The Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics at Yale University fosters the development of theoretical, mathematical, and statistical tools and their application in economics and related social sciences. Most of the professional research staff are members in the Department of Economics. The Foundation sponsors a seminar series and maintains a library of materials related to its special areas of research activity. Institution for Social and Policy Studies The Institution for Social and Policy Studies was established to encourage innovative and collaborative research and education on social problems. Organized around the social sciences, ISPS also enlists other disciplines essential to policy studies including law, medicine, public health, engineering, and environmental studies.
