An independent research institute headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices in New Delhi, Tokyo, and Canberra — studying how money, markets, and state power are being rewritten.
Quad Institute researches the shifting architecture of global economic power across three pillars: the future of money, the future of capitalism, and economic statecraft. We deliver live data dashboards and interactive project trackers designed to make complex economic trends legible to policymakers, journalists, and the public.
Future of Money — central bank digital currencies, stablecoins, and tokenized settlement, anchored by our CBDC Tracker.
Future of Capitalism — industrial policy, reshoring, and shifting trade architecture among major economies.
Economic Statecraft — sanctions, export controls, and financial coercion as instruments of foreign policy, mapped through our Global Sanctions Map.
Global research direction, economic statecraft program, and government & policy engagement.
Indo-Pacific monetary policy research and regional digital-currency coordination.
Industrial policy and trade architecture research across advanced Asian economies.
Critical minerals, supply-chain security, and Pacific economic statecraft research.
Quad Institute is building out its research staff across all four offices. Open roles will be posted here as the Institute launches its inaugural tracker release.
