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
Success Housing Stability Financial Security Quality Jobs Who We Are The
Inclusive Economy Lab is led by Marianne Bertrand, the Chris P. Dialynas
Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of
Chicago Booth School of Business, Co-Director of Social Enterprise
Initiative at Booth, and Director of the University of Chicago Inclusive
Economy Lab. Her research, which covers labor economics, corporate
finance, and development economics, has been published widely. She is a
member of the board of directors for the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty
Action Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our full-time
staff currently consists of an Executive Director, Scientific Director
and twenty-five full-time staff, including data analysts and program
managers at our main office in downtown Chicago. Our constantly evolving
portfolio of projects spans workforce development, housing and
homelessness, postsecondary education, and income support policies. Our
Values Conduct science in service of cities: We feel a sense of urgency
to do research that improves people's lives. We select projects that

ground. Our research is rigorous and informed by the historic and
current contexts that shape urban residents' lives. Foster lasting
relationships: We collaborate with policymakers, practitioners, and
people with lived experience to understand multiple perspectives and
figure out what works. Elevate equity & inclusion: We aim to hire people
with a range of personal and professional backgrounds, skillsets, and
identities. We expand access to evaluation for a broad range of
organizations and we conduct work that affirms the dignity of all
people. Check our privilege: We recognize the power and privilege we
have as members of the University of Ch cago. We practice humility and
