What a sponsor should be able to evaluate.
Help a program officer, contracting team, or research collaborator understand what economics makes possible, what must be tested, and what a credible next phase would require.
INSTAR states the question, the method, the evidence, the limitations, and the next decision so a researcher, program officer, or contracting team can assess fit.
Evidence / Economics Research
Make the research reviewable.
A credible program states the question, method, evidence, and limit together.
- QuestionWhat must be learned?

- MethodHow will it be tested?
INSTAR Lab applies quantitative methods, computational economics, and data science to policy analysis, market behavior, and the economic dimensions of technology and science.
- RiskWhat needs a closer review?
Review the economics capability, methods, and evidence before deciding on fit.
Research setting / Sciences
What the work must explain.
A concrete instrument, dataset, or domain gives the research question a testable setting.
Help a program officer, contracting team, or research collaborator understand what economics makes possible, what must be tested, and what a credible next phase would require.
