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.

Grants to this Grantee
for research on the role of the Federal Reserve to encourage full employment and address climate risk
Policies aimed to mitigate global climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and policies aimed at macroeconomic stabilization and growth are complementary. This grant to the Economic Policy Institute seeks to inform policymakers, the media, and opinion leaders about this intersection through the publication of two reports. The first will describe the connection and the second will point to macroeconomic policy levers that can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. (Substrategy: Finance)
