Strategic Research

IJ’s strategic research team produces cutting-edge social science and policy research on issues central to our mission. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, our studies examine important questions by applying techniques from public policy, economics, political science, sociology and other disciplines to reach findings borne out by data. We conduct much of our research in-house, but also commission leading scholars where appropriate.

Printed versions of many of these publications are also available in our online store.
