NBER

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that facilitates cutting-edge investigation and analysis of major economic issues. It disseminates research findings to academics, public and private-sector decision makers, and the public by posting more than 1,200 working papers, and convening more than 120 scholarly conferences, each year.

Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the NBER is a network of more than 1,650 economists who hold primary appointments at North American colleges and universities. These researchers are leaders in the field: 38 current or former NBER affiliates have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, and 13 have chaired the President’s Council of Economic Advisers.

The NBER is working to make its web content accessible to all. Please address any concerns or requests for assistance to webaccessibility@nber.org.
