Exogeneity
Contributing to your model from the outside
It’s Exogenous
Exogeneity has two meanings.
1) In social science theory, it means something that is a part of a model, but isn’t determined inside it. It’s something that comes from the outside, and helps make everything else make sense.
2) In applied social science, it means that something - a new intervention, an innovation, or something else - that is either delivered at random, or any non-random elements have been removed statistically. Exogeneity is the best way of finding out if something works.
What Works?
If you’ve got a great idea, you want to know if it works - how well it works, and what could make it work even better. That’s where we come in. We’ve conducted more than a hundred evaluations of projects in the UK and overseas, to find out about the impacts of interventions across education, employment, children’s social care, social mobility, employment, crime, transport and financial decision making.
We can support your evaluation from start to finish - whether you’re just starting to think about evaluation, or ready for a large scale roll out, we’re here to help.
Behavioural Science
Behavioural Science - the marriage of economics and psychology - aims to use the scientific method to understand people’s behaviour, and to help design interventions and environments in a way that helps people meet their goals, or contribute to social causes. We’re a team of behavioural scientists who have worked with governments and academics from around the world to bring about positive change.
Our projects include increasing charitable donations, helping people thrive in education, getting more people into work, improving workplace morale, and boosting financial capability and savings
(Super)^2 Vision
Studying for a PhD can be really hard - believe us, we know. It’s not something you do twice (unless you’re even nerdier than us). Most people studying PhDs don’t have a family member with one they can turn to advice. Sure, doing a PhD is niche, but that’s no reason why you shouldn’t be supported when you’re doing it. That’s why we’ve launched the (Super)^2Vision project - to learn what has made people’s PhD lives better - or worse, to provide advice on how to make the PhD student in your life happy (even if it’s you), and to make sure you know you’re not alone.
