Overview
The Economic Policy Institute shapes public policy on the federal and state level through compelling research and innovative ideas. The institute will lead a multiyear interdisciplinary initiative to reexamine the foundational assumptions about the balance of power in labor market relationships. By commissioning new research in law, philosophy, political science, sociology, and economics, the initiative will examine the extent and implications of asymmetrical bargaining power. The project prioritizes cross-fertilization across academic fields and engagement with activists, advocates, and policymakers. The goal is to build an intellectual foundation for a deeper and more policy-relevant understanding of labor markets.

for general operating support
The Economic Policy Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan economic research center created in 1986 to use the tools of economics to promote the interests of low- and middle-income workers, their families, and their communities in national economic policy debates. The institute’s work emphasizes the role that deliberate policy choices have had in driving the steep rise in wealth, income, and wage inequality over the last four decades. The institute proposes national- and state-level public policies designed to reverse rising inequality by shifting the balance of economic power in the direction of low- and middle-income workers.
