Towards a Comparative Advantage Framework for One CGIAR
This is a three-part podcast series featuring Chris Barrett, a professor of applied economics at Cornell University and Joshua Graff Zivin, a professor of economics at the University of California San Diego. They discuss Comparative Advantage (CA) as one of the most powerful theoretical insights in economics. CA provides a useful framework for identifying areas where CGIAR’s efforts are most crucial to achieving its mission—to deliver science and innovation that advance the transformation of food, land, and water systems in a climate crisis. For years, CGIAR stakeholders have sought to define the system’s comparative advantage (CA). ISDC aims at putting the concept of CA to effective use in research portfolio management at all levels within CGIAR, now that the One CGIAR structure makes portfolio approaches possible and especially salient.
