The Office of the Chief Economist sets the strategic direction of our work in development economics.
Our key role is to support OPM in the development and delivery of this strategic objective. We seek to strengthen links between research and policy, both externally and internally, as well as finding new and innovative ways of achieving impact on growth, poverty, and disadvantage. We deliver this through four key activities:
- academic research programmes
- the Oxford Policy Fellowship
- thought leadership, and
- innovation
