02Mandate

The real economy of development under systemic risk.

The platform's mandate is research on economic transformation, inclusive growth, industry, trade and development in the presence of systemic risk. Its core methods are economic risk modelling, inclusive indicators, and input-output and fiscal analysis. Its audience is development economists, policy researchers, economic planners and industry analysts.

It is the real-economy field of the Consortium. Finance-sector specialisms, such as development finance, disaster risk finance and sovereign debt markets, are the work of platforms at The Global Risks Alliance (GRA), with which this platform exchanges evidence.

06Questions

Questions and answers.

Why is economic development a GCRI platform?
Because it is research on the real economy. GCRI does science; GRA builds industry understanding of finance; GRF convenes and governs.
When will the platform open fully?
No date is set. It opens in stages as its charter, editor, content and review capacity are in place.
Who do I contact?
The research team at Contact. The acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step.
Does the platform use published statistics?
Yes, as a primary source, alongside surveys and administrative data. Each output names its sources and their vintage, and the platform does not speak for any statistical office.
How does the platform keep its work neutral?
By publishing methods and assumptions with every output, presenting competing evidence where it exists, and leaving policy choices to the authorities responsible for them.
