IPD’s Development theme focuses on critical issues around capital market liberalization, climate change, Latin America and China economic relations, poverty, trade, migration, the resource curse, and financing for development. It explores development through a comprehensive framework by integrating economic development, poverty reduction, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. IPD leads research efforts to develop a new understanding of context-specific policies that can overcome past economic failures in emerging markets and developing economies. These policies aim to promote sustainable growth that fosters equal opportunities, particularly within vulnerable and fragile economic contexts.
