Who We Are:
Inclusion Economics India at Krea University (formerly EPoD India at IFMR) works in close collaboration with Yale’s Economic Growth Center and MacMillan Center. Drawing upon economics, political science, and related fields, we conduct cutting-edge research to understand how policy can promote inclusive, accountable economies and societies. Our core research focuses on gender as it relates to labor economics and broader economic empowerment; political economy and governance; and environmental economics. We also aim to build a culture of evidence and increase data literacy in the public sector, strengthening leaders’ ability to identify and implement evidence-informed policies. Throughout the research life cycle, we engage closely with policy counterparts to ensure we address questions of immediate relevance, and we regularly communicate data-driven insights with policy counterparts and the general public.

When Nash Motors was founded in 1916, few imagined that a car-maker based in Kenosha could out-innovate the Big Three in Detroit. But it did. Nash developed a heating and ventilation system that is still used today, and pioneered unibody construction and seat belts. Seems fitting that the exciting Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood is planned for the very site where Nash and later American Motors established an important presence in the world of auto

In today’s economy, American businesses often tap into professional management to grow.

A new study co-authored by Yale economist Michael Peters explores the effects that the absence of outside professional management has on India’s businesses and the country’s economy.
The study, published in the American Economic Review, uses a novel model to compare the relationship between the efficiency of outside managers and firm growth in the United States and India. It shows that the lack of managerial delegation factors significantly into why businesses in India tend to stay small and has wider implications on the country’s economy, constrai
