Charity Troyer Moore is Director for South Asia Economics Research at Yale University's MacMillan Center, where she provides strategic direction and oversight of research, policy, and capacity-building engagements in India, and other countries in South Asia for Inclusion Economics at Yale University. Charity's research examines public service delivery and governance in the bureaucracy; the drivers and potential solutions to India’s low female labour force participation, with a focus on the ways in which current policy initiatives can put women on better footing as economic agents; land rights; and social protection programmes – notably public works and cash transfer programmes. Prior to her current position at Yale, she held multiple roles at Harvard Kennedy School's Evidence for Policy Design, most recently as India Research Director, where she co-founded EPoD India at IFMR. Charity holds a Masters in Economics and Ph.D. in Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics from The Ohio State University.
