The PASSN Team: Poverty Frontiers (4.1.3 )

Economics

Economic areas of interest include the following:

  • Poverty data and measurement, including poverty lines and efforts to track national and international trends in the incidence of poverty;
  • The contribution of investments in education and health to poverty reduction;
  • The impacts of labor laws and regulations; and
  • The impact of risk and vulnerability on the welfare of poor households.

 

Political Economy

Our Political Economy work includes:

  • Providing analytical and programmatic support to USAID missions and other offices on poverty and political economic issues;
  • Advancing understanding of Democratic Governance-Economic Growth linkages within a poverty context, particularly in fragile and conflict environments; and 
  • Promoting a research network focused on poverty issues, including management of PASSN-supported research on poverty issues through the Strategies and Analysis for Growth and Access (SAGA) cooperative agreement with Cornell University.
