STEG Pathfinding Papers

The Pathfinding Papers review what is known and what questions are most salient in specific areas of research and policy related to structural transformation and economic growth.

Connected string

These papers focus on particular areas of interest within the STEG research programme by summarising key policy questions, synthesising the findings of relevant academic literature, identifying important evidence gaps/research questions, and elucidating the links to the various research themes and cross-cutting issues. The papers do not encompass the full interests of STEG, however, they are simply the first outputs of what will become a broader set of synthesis papers.
