Highlights of our work

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 our research focus pages and interactive annual reports.
