The Centre is directed by Professor Richard Blundell and co-directors, Professor Orazio Attanasio, Professor James Banks, Professor Rachel Griffith and Dr Imran Rasul. Our research takes place within the team-based environment at IFS, providing advanced training for young researchers. The Centre acts as a national resource for analysis of emerging policy challenges and draws on extensive collaboration with leading researchers in the UK, Europe, North America and the developing world. We have an established record of effective dissemination to and interaction with policymakers, civil society, the business community, academics and the general public - and we continually seek to broaden and strengthen those links.
