The Center on Employment
and Economic Growth
Social Science & Technology Seminar Series
The Center on Employment and Economic Growth (CEEG) was created in 1997 to study the
relationship between long-term economic growth and the economic success of individuals and families in their jobs and careers.
Faculty at CEEG study the issues driving growth, innovation, and competition in the economy. Efforts include conferences, publications,
and research support in areas including antitrust, entrepreneurship, health care, intellectual property, Internet impacts, media
ownership, and telecommunications. CEEG is directed by Timothy F. Bresnahan.
Recent CEEG researcher publications cover antitrust (Bruce Owen), entrepreneurship (Tim Bresnahan, Jenny Kuan), health care (Kuan),
intellectual property (Bresnahan, Ward Hanson, Kuan, Manuel Trajtenberg), and telecommunications, Internet, and media competition
(Hanson, Owen) are listed at the bottom. CEEG provided support for continued progress on several books by CEEG scholars on media
ownership (Owen), Internet commerce (Hanson), and the history of the PC industry (Bresnahan). CEEG and Professor John Pencavel
of Economics received a multi-year grant from the Smith-Richardson Foundation to study “Changes in Income Inequality Among Households”.
Joining CEEG this year, the Regulatory Policy Program, led by Roger Noll and Frank
Wolak, looks at U.S. policies on regulation and their impact on the economy. The program initiates important new policy-relevant
research on the government regulation of business, with a particular focus on telecommunications, energy, and the Internet. The
program encourages young scholars, both graduate students and junior faculty, to research regulatory policy issues.
