Inclusive Growth Research
Research into inclusive growth has received attention from academics and policy makers since the term emerged in the late 2000s.
Inclusive growth is about both the pace and pattern / distribution of growth (IMF, World Bank). The aim of inclusive growth is, therefore, to achieve both sustainable economic growth, but with a particular emphasis on who benefits from growth.
The research papers and reports listed below explore this in different ways.
Research Network
SHRED in collaboration with Policy Scotland started the Regional Inclusive Growth Research Network to help progress, shape, and address an inclusive growth research agenda in Scotland. The Research Network held its first meeting in March 2019 attended by academics with expertise in this research domain.
