The series

BIQEP Policy Briefs is the public-policy series of the Bangladesh Institute of Quantitative Economics and Public Policy.

What this series is

The Bangladesh Institute of Quantitative Economics and Public Policy (BIQEP) advances economic research through mathematics, statistics and econometrics. BIQEP Policy Briefs is its public-policy series on Bangladesh.

The aim is plain: give readers short analysis they can check. Each brief names its data, its method and its limits, and the settings behind it are open.

A quantitative result is only as useful as the assumptions it makes visible.

What it is not

BIQEP is an independent research initiative. It is not a government body and is not affiliated with Bangladesh Bank, the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics or the Government of Bangladesh. Views are the author’s own.
