Stanford University

Founded thirty years ago by William Hewlett, among others, the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research is a nonpartisan organization that unites economic policy scholars from all parts of Stanford University. The Institute has become one of the world’s most respected economic research centers with influence in Sacramento, Washington, and abroad. Its scholars conduct studies on important economic policy issues in the United States and other countries in order to inform and advise policymakers and the public and to guide their decisions with sound analysis. The Institute’s faculty also train, educate, and support doctoral students as future economic policy analysts.
