Inge Kaul (18 August 1944 – 23 January 2023)[citation needed] was a German development economist who was an adjunct professor at the Hertie School of Governance, Berlin, and advisor to various governmental, multilateral and non-profit organizations on policy options to meet global challenges. She specialised in Global public goods, with much of her work looking at international cooperation financing, public-private partnerships, global governance, global issue diplomacy and UN system reform. She was the first director of UNDP's Human Development Report Office, a position which she held from 1989 to 1994, where with Mahbub ul Haq she led the team working on the Human Development Report.[1] She was then director of UNDP's Office of Development Studies from 1995 to 2005. She was the author of numerous publications on international public economics and finance and was the lead editor of the books Providing Global Public Goods: Managing Globalization and The New Public Finance: Responding to Global Challenges.[2]

In 1987 Kaul married U.S. Foreign Service Officer and Ambassador, Edward Hurwitz. They remained married until her death in January 2023 in Berlin.[3]
