Our work

More than 20 years ago, IMCO disrupted Mexico's approach to public policy by establishing itself as an unbiased think tank based on rigorous analysis and hard facts, all the while promoting open discussions through its clear and comprehensible communication style.

Our policy proposals are the product of an interdisciplinary team consisting of researchers and experts in various subjects of public interest.

At IMCO we promote a work culture of respect for diversity, labor equality, and an anti-discrimination and gender equity policy. In the institution we strive for  impartiality in the treatment of men and women, keeping in mind gender equity, benefits, obligations, and opportunities. Therefore, we give priority to work based on results and not on hours, which has allowed the Institute to retain  its talent, especially of women.

Our areas

Economy

In this area we generate  evidence and proposals so that the labor market, the energy sector, and international trade are efficient and contribute to the growth of the competitiveness of the country, the Mexican states and the cities with a focus on sustainability.

Government

This area analyzes the governments’ capacity to effectively and efficiently govern, from the manner in which organizations in the public sector are structured, to the operations, planning and use of public resources,  as well as monitor and communicate both at the federal and state level. This strategic line searches for a multilevel analysis of the  government in Mexico that is competitive and contributes to the consolidation of a democratic system.

Inclusive Society

This area analyzes how to  increase  the participation of women in the economy and how to ensure that talent is consistently more prepared with the goal of contributing towards the improvement of the population’s quality of life and towards a more competitive country. The team carries out research and proposes recommendations so that women, as much as men, can access the best work opportunities, with a focus on training and personal development for more productive and competitive human capital.

Analytics

This area works following a cross-sectional approach within the institution. Its primary purpose is setting rules to upload, store, query, and update databases.
