Behaviour, Structure and Interventions (BSI) |
Glasgow Centre for International Development (GCID) |
Ancestral Studies is an innovative new interdisciplinary field of study.

The research network, Behaviour, Structure and Interventions (BSI), aims to develop and refine a methodology, at the interface of theory and empirics, that can be applied to the study of substantive issues in a variety of different settings and problems and deliver policy impact. The network is explicitly inter-disciplinary but with a disciplinary core located in economics and related social sciences. |

They are committed to equitable partnerships that deliver positive impacts on the daily lives of the millions of people around the world living in poverty. |
