The Good Economy Lab is an *interdisciplinary* and *inter-sector* research collaboration incubating in the Busch School's [Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship](/explore-our-school/centers-initiatives-entrepreneurship/arthur-carlyse-ciocca-center-principled-entrepreneurship "The Arthur & Carlyse Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship ").

It's goal — through relevant, rigorous, high-impact research — is to unpack the elements that make an economy "good", and *rediscover* how market economies contribute to *human flourishing*.
