Economic Research Southern Africa (ERSA) is a platform that supports the development of economic policy by connecting economic research to national policy debate and identifying areas of future research. Our network draws on a broad range of economic researchers and policymakers from a variety of academic, private and government institutions. We encourage the creation, dissemination and discussion of independent and expert economic policy-oriented research.
