Workshop on 'Disadvantage'

The research network, Behaviour, Structure and Interventions (BSI), aims to develop and refine a methodology, at the interface of theory and empirics, that can be applied to the study of substantive issues in a variety of different settings and problems and deliver policy impact.  The network is explicitly inter-disciplinary but with a disciplinary core located in economics and related social sciences.
