Program Overview
Policymakers struggle to generate shared prosperity, as economic growth remains elusive or non-inclusive for too many. Existing development strategies often fail to achieve inclusive growth. Pathways to prosperity are continuously evolving. Strategies for Inclusive Growth offers a redesign of economic policy that centers on context-specific approaches to diagnose economic challenges and to build the capability to implement economic change.
Strategies for Inclusive Growth is a one-week, on-campus executive education program that rethinks the practice of economic policy, from design to implementation. Led by Professor Ricardo Hausmann and Professor Matt Andrews, the program places inclusion at the heart of economic policy to provide powerful tools to identify the root causes of economic inequality. The program will equip you with new frameworks to design strategies that address constraints and mobilize teams required to achieve shared prosperity and inclusive growth.
