Macroeconomic Policies, Poverty and Inequality
IPC-IG’s work in this area is strongly policy-oriented, examining, in particular, the options for MDG-based national economic strategies. Within this framework, it focuses on fiscal policies, monetary policies, financial policies and the public provision of services. Its intent is to stimulate an evidence-based and wide-ranging debate and help expand the policy choices of developing-country governments, especially for macroeconomic and adjustment policies.
IPC-IG also continues to carry out research on the definitions and measurement of poverty and inequality.
