What we do and who we are

The Center for Evidence-Based Policy Making strives to promote rigorous empirical/theoretical research that helps make policy-making with quality evidence. The center is composed of specialists in economics, political science, and sociology, but our research interests extend to a wider range of policy-relevant issues. We commit to disseminate our research to all relevant individuals and organizations while providing our students with opportunities for lively discussions and hands-on learning experience.
This website also contains information about our seminars. We strongly encourage our students to participate in the seminars in the hope to broaden their research horizons while stimulating scholarship.
