The Growth, Inequality and Poverty (GrIP) Project
Project Leads: Peter Edward, Newcastle University Business School & Andy Sumner, King’s College London
Summary: This project uses a global model of consumption, output and distribution to explore changes in global and national poverty and inequality, and distributional patterns of growth since the early 1980s. The project seeks to interrogate trends and patterns in the scale and distribution of benefits from economic growth.
