Stanford Center for International Development
The Stanford Center for International Development (SCID) is a center within the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research which focuses on international trade and development. The agenda for SCID has three main components: the causes of economic growth in developing and transition economies; the role of international trade in improving economic welfare around the world; and the impact of the international financial system on the world economy.
