Manage episode 281602192 series 2826931
One of the central questions facing policymakers and community leaders is how to best understand and improve economic mobility. Opportunity Insights was founded by economists Raj Chetty, John Friedman, and Nathaniel Hendren. Their team of economists from Harvard and Brown University are working together to analyze new data and create new platforms to help community leaders make more informed decisions. The institute’s research on economic mobility harnesses the power of big data to document both the decline of the American Dream in some neighborhoods and potential solutions to revive it. They also are providing real time insights into the economic recovery coming out of COVID.
