Global Economics & Management

In response to a rapidly changing and often misunderstood global economic playing field, research at the Center on Global Transformation is designed to address central questions of economic growth, equality and market change in the Pacific. Joshua Graff Zivin, a professor who has a broad research profile that includes the environment, health, development and innovation economics, leads the center. Together with an expanded group of resident fellows, established and emerging faculty leaders and applications-oriented researchers, the center is a resource for policymakers and business leaders alike.
