Our Research Programs

Data-driven insight across economics, governance, and foreign policy. Built for Latin America and the world.

↓

Our research programs explore the forces shaping Latin America and the world’s economic trajectories, political institutions, and international positioning. We combine rigorous data analysis, policy theory, and scenario-based foresight to help our partners understand emerging trends, test strategic options, and craft decisions that stand the test of time.

Our core areas include:

  • Economic Futures – fiscal resilience, development strategy, productive transformation

  • Democracy & Security – state capacity, democratic erosion, social cohesion

  • Foreign Policy & Geostrategy – global realignments, regional integration, foreign influence

Each program bridges quantitative research with grounded, contextual insight, so that evidence doesn’t just inform policy, it improves it.

Economic Futures

Stacked shipping containers of various colors including red, blue, yellow, and green on cargo ships or port yard, against a partly cloudy sky.

We decode growth, debt, and informality with open datasets and scenario models—so fiscal policy meets reality.

Democracy & Security

Empty tiered wooden seats and desks in a legislative chamber or courtroom.

We price the costs of corruption and crime, quantify state capacity, and test what reform delivers.

Foreign Policy & Geostrategy

A globe featuring Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Europe and Asia, placed on a table with a blurred background of a warmly lit room.

We map Asia’s finance, Andean integration, and global migration flows, giving Latin America its own geostrategic lens.
