Abigail Hiller's Company Details
Opportunity Insights is a new non-partisan, not-for-profit, research and policy institute focused on improving economic opportunity and founded by leading economists Raj Chetty, John Friedman, and Nathaniel Hendren. Opportunity Insights' research on economic mobility harnesses the power of big data to document both the decline of the American Dream and potential solutions to revive it. Its central mission is to develop scalable policy solutions that empower families throughout the United States to rise out of poverty and achieve better life outcomes. Formerly the Equality of Opportunity Project, our research partnership is focused on understanding the hidden forces influencing the achievement of upward mobility. Leveraging big data to explore some of the most enduring beliefs about American society, we have released research on how children's neighborhoods shape their future economic success and data on every college and university in America's role in helping students move up the income ladder. In addition, we have convened the Collegiate Leaders in Increasing MoBility (CLIMB) initiative – a partnership with higher education institutions representing over 2.5 million students across the country – and, most recently, released research with the US Census Bureau on the impact of race on a child's economic prospects.
