Founded in 1994, Program on Information and
Resources (PIR) is part of Columbia University and directed
by Professor Graciela Chichilnisky - a bold new initiative to promote
collaborative, long-term planning that balances the needs of people,
the environment and the economy.
PIR's mission is to develop new economic strategies
that increase productivity in industrial and developing countries and
simultaneously promote wise stewardship of the world's ecological resources.
Using the tools of mathematics, economic theory and data analysis, PIR
researchers assess the economic value of the ecological infrastructure
that supports human societies
