The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a convenient framework for reporting and clustering research in development studies.
We use the SDG framework as a useful check, not so much because the SDGs offer a panacea. Indeed, one can be critical on the mechanical indicator-driven approach to a multidimensional process like development. Still, it is not unreasonable to expect from researchers at a development institute that aims a societal impact to be able to locate their research under the broader umbrella of the SDGs.
With this in mind we have organized our main research output using the classification of CERES Research School for Economic Development
