UL Inclusive Economy Lab
About the Department
Our Focus for generations, government policies and institutional choices
have excluded many Americans from opportunities for education,
employment, and wealth creation. Ending intergenerational poverty and
building an inclusive economy-one that provides real economic
opportunities for all communities-requires collaboration across sectors,
as well as scientific evidence about what works and what doesn't.
Traditional research can take years, and the results often don't reach
those who need the information most-the people living with and working
on these issues. The University of Chicago Inclusive Economy Lab solves
this by working with policymakers, organizations, and communities to
identify their most urgent and pressing challenges, co-generate evidence
about what works, and translate that evidence into real policy changes
that expand economic opportunity and improve lives. Founded in 2015, The
University of Chicago Inclusive Economy Lab conducts rigorous research
that expands economic opportunity for people harmed by discrimination,
disinvestment, and segregation. One of five Urban Labs based at the
Harris School of Public Policy, the Inclusive Economy Lab is led by
Pritzker Director Marianne Bertrand, Chris P. Dialynas Distinguished
Service Professor of Economics at the Booth School of Business. We
partner with policymakers, community-based organizations and others to
identify their most urgent and pressing challenges, co-generate evidence
about what works, and translate findings into policy changes that end
intergenerational poverty. By identifying barriers to social mobility
and racial equity and highlighting the programs and policies that have
the most positive impact, our work creates aims to create greater
economic opportunity. We specialize in evaluating programs with the
potential to improve lives in four main areas: College and Career
