Overview
Nobel Prize winner Dr. Kenneth Arrow, professor at SIEPR, is one of the world’s most respected economists and has consistently been at the forefront of new and creative approaches to understanding societal issues and systems. Previous grants from the Hewlett Foundation to SIEPR have supported his development of a reformulation of the concept of wealth that includes not only financial assets, but also physical health, environmental factors, and psychological well-being. This grant would support further research primarily focused on two topics: policy formulation under conditions of risk and uncertainty, and clarification of the nature – and corresponding and utility functions - of individual and collective obligations to future generations.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Policy Analysis for California Education program
Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) is a nonpartisan policy and research center housed at Stanford University. It researches and analyzes education policy issues pertaining to California’s K-12 education system, bridging the gap between research and policy. This grant will help PACE produce relevant analysis and research, which can be used to better inform California education policy development and guide state and local decision making. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
for support of a neuroimaging study of racial bias and professional investors
SPARQ, a research center at Stanford University, seeks to reduce societal disparities and social divides using behavioral science. This grant will support research to examine racial diversity in the financial services industry. It is expected that this information will be used to develop strategies and practices to reduce biases that contribute to racial disparities.
