The Nova SBE Public Policy Institute is a pioneering initiative by Nova School of Business & Economics, established to bridge the gap between academic research and practical policymaking. Launched in September 2024, the institute is dedicated to fostering rigorous, evidence-based research that addresses real-world challenges, with a particular focus on public finance, productivity, inequality, housing, and immigration.
The Nova SBE Public Policy Institute:
- Fosters rigorous research in public policy, particularly research with real-world impact, moving the public policy needle in the right direction
- Trains current and future generations of policymakers by supporting Nova SBE programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and executive education levels
- Builds bridges between researchers and policymakers and between the academy and civil society
Our values:
- Leadership, understood as innovation (new ideas for solving new and old problems) and service (solve society’s problems, not one’s own).
- Dialogue, to make progress in an increasingly polarized world.
- Rigor, to ensure that public policy is based on evidence and ideas, not ideology.
