Economist Carol Graham studies globalization, market reforms, income mobility, and growth in developing societies. A senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a professor at the University of Maryland, Graham doesn’t think of herself as a happiness researcher.

We are supported by a diverse array of funders. In line with our values and policies, each Brookings publication represents the sole views of its author(s).
