Overview
The Experiments in Governance And Politics (EGAP) project, based at Columbia University, is a network of leading scholars and international development practitioners who study efforts to improve the transparency and accountability of political institutions. With this support, EGAP will raise research standards both among network members and in the fields of political science and economics. EGAP will also frame research questions and raise funding for inter-related studies so that the findings can be aggregated to provide more complete answers to the questions policymakers are asking. Finally, EGAP will improve the communication and dissemination of research findings and analysis so that the expanding evidence base is read, absorbed, and acted upon to improve governance interventions.

for the Center for Political Economy
The Center for Political Economy at Columbia University aims to identify and advance the most promising post-2008 developments within economics, and promote a new political economy, distinctive for our time, with an institutional, cross-disciplinary orientation connecting economics to law, political science, sociology, public health, engineering, and data science, with philosophical underpinnings. The center will gather initiatives and individual scholarly programs already underway, helping faculty span disciplines and fields of inquiry while anchoring a series of investigations into fundamental topics. The center will also seed new research, scholarly publications, and policy outputs and foster curricular materials that will feed into textbooks and coursework. At the core of its work, the center will develop idea labs concerned with such vital areas as firm size and antitrust, work and labor, money and finance, climate change, and inequalities. This grant provides general (program) support for the Center for Political Economy at Columbia University.
