About STICERD

STICERD brings together world-class academics to put economics and related disciplines at the forefront of research and policy.

Established in 1978, the Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines carry out research within nine research programmes. It also houses the Centre for the Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) and self standing programmes such as Beveridge 2.0 and the Hayek Programme. The breadth of our research, and its impact on the wider research community and beyond, is detailed in the 'Our work' section of our site.

As well as supporting internal research, the centres fund events, publications and grants to LSE academic staff and international academic visitors.
