Background

Established in 2011 as the first research lab in Korea committed to rigorous evaluation of the impact of development programs, Impact Evaluation Lab (IE Lab) at the KDI School of Public Policy and Management has been dedicated to carry out impact evaluation studies.

In 2015, as another module, the Lab launched a cliometric study* program to focus on Korea’s development experiences to conduct empirical studies on Korea’s development experiences and to revitalize quantitative studies on Korea’s economic history.

The researches covered :
(1) Land Reform and Agricultural Productivity in Korea (Duol KIM, Professor, Economics, Myeongji University)
(2) Changes in Anthropometric Measures of Wellbeing in Korea: Evidence from Military Records (Cheolhee LEE, Professor, Economics, Seoul National University)
