Overview
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a nonpartisan policy institute with expertise in federal and state budget and tax policy. CBPP informs policy debates through analysis that policymakers, journalists, and others rely upon. CBPP focuses on addressing policy challenges in fiscally responsible ways that enable the nation to fulfill its commitments and respond to key unmet needs, especially for disadvantaged populations. CBPP is particularly known for developing and effectively advancing fiscally responsible options to make programs for low-income households more effective, inclusive, and adequately funded; to promote opportunity for households and communities that have been left behind; and to lessen inequality and advance broadly shared prosperity.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that pursues federal and state policies designed both to reduce poverty and inequality and to restore fiscal responsibility in equitable and effective ways. CBPP applies deep expertise in budget and tax issues and in programs and policies that help low-income people, in order to help inform debates and achieve better policy outcomes. Among CBPP’s current priorities, its Full Employment project offers a thorough re-evaluation of key macroeconomic assumptions, particularly those related to full employment, inflation, and the business cycle. For decades, empirically suspect assumptions in these areas led to policies that contributed to slack labor markets, with the costs falling largely on the most economically vulnerable people and their communities. There is growing recognition across the economics profession that these assumptions led policymakers to implement fiscal and monetary policies that reduced employment, incomes, and opportunities for millions of working families. CBPP will continue to develop, elevate, and disseminate research on the benefits of full employment, the costs and disparate impacts of slack, and the monetary and fiscal policy agenda necessary to get and keep the U.S. labor market at full employment.
