Cash Transfer Lab

Mission

The mission of Cash Transfer Lab (CTL) is to build an evidence base regarding cash transfer policies. We answer the fundamental questions of how conditional and unconditional cash transfer policies transform American families, communities and economies. 

The first major initiative is to study the effects of the permanent fund dividend (PFD), a policy in Alaska that has paid every Alaskan resident a substantial amount of cash annually since 1982. 

If you have a stake in Alaska’s future and have a question you want answered about the PFD, please send a note to the Cash Transfer Lab founder and executive director, Dr. Sarah Cowan at sarahkcowan@nyu.edu
