Motu

Motu Economic and Public Policy Research is Aotearoa New Zealand's leading economic research institute. Since 2000, we have delivered evidence-based research on the issues shaping our future, including housing & urban development; climate change & the environment; child and family well-being; labour markets; social change; and productivity & innovation. As a non-profit charitable trust, Motu Research is neither ideological nor political. Our value lies in our independence: government, businesses, international organisations, and other partners trust our research precisely because it is driven by sound evidence rather than any particular agenda. Motu Research is ranked Aotearoa New Zealand's top economics research organisation and among the top think tanks globally. We are committed to quality research, building capability, and freely disseminating research. We welcome collaboration with researchers and funders who share our commitment to rigorous analysis in service of better public policy.
