CAGE builds its research programme to deliver economic analysis and address real-world issues.

We are a small team of experts who seek to apply economic principles to ask new and innovative questions of data. We want to know how and why economies are successful, and the ways in which culture, history and behaviour shape the global economy.

Using a quantitative and interdisciplinary approach, we work with global academic partners to address topics aligned to our four core themes. These are as diverse as the historical roots of Britain's economic problems, the role of social norms in shaping the success of different policies, and the new challenges of the attention economy.

Our research findings have been used by policymakers, journalists, practitioners and the general public to drive policy debate and form opinion.

All our research is underpinned by the principles of culture, history and behaviour.
