This makes it the pre-eminent place for scholars interested in understanding and improving our measurement of concepts like economic growth and inequality. It is a great honor to soon be in a position to help chart this journal’s course.” The journal has an international readership and focuses on comparative analyses between countries.

Cross-country research on economic growth and development

Inklaar’s area of expertise is on the economics of productivity and welfare, aiming to understand differences in economic development across countries. In his work, he has, for instance, focused on measuring cross-country income differences, studying the role of these differences in the availability of human and physical capital, analyzing the productivity slowdown and measurement of productivity in the public sector.
