HHB is delighted to announce a partnership with the World Bank, the world’s leading institution for the study of development. The agreement envisions an exchange of both data and expertise, and helps ensure a truly global scope for the Project’s activities. Our collaboration with the Development Economics Vice Presidency (DEC - the Bank’s research and data arm) will comprise not just data sharing, but also an exchange of ideas on the technical issues arising in international comparisons of microdata, such as harmonisation of variables and purchasing power parity estimation.
