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 1,550 economists who hold primary appointments at North American colleges and universities. These researchers are leaders in the field: 32 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.
