Anna Tompsett is an Affiliated Researcher at the IIES. She is interested mostly in public goods: how they shape our societies and how they affect the trajectories of human development, and under what conditions communities and organizations can most successfully provide them. Originally trained as a civil and environmental engineer, she has a particular interest in infrastructure.
The 20th century was a period of unprecedented global change, both for human development and for the environment. To understand long-run development, we must first be able to measure these changes.
