Carol Newman is Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics, Trinity College Dublin. An internationally recognised expert in development economics, her research explores the microeconomic foundations of development, focusing on how constraints, such as limited access to markets, finance, or information, affect individual and firm behaviour, and how targeted policies can alleviate these barriers.
She is co-founder of the Trinity Impact Evaluation (TIME) Research Centre, a non-resident Senior Research Fellow at UNU-WIDER and a consultant to the World Bank. Her research includes randomized controlled trials of policy interventions, as well as work on labour markets, firm dynamics, and industrial policy.
