Bridging research and policy
Gopi Shah Goda’s research and teaching have focused on economic policymaking for more than a decade. She recently took her work beyond Stanford to Washington, D.C., where she served on the Council of Economic Advisers. Her year of public service continues a tradition of SIEPR senior fellows committed to strengthening the ties between the worlds of academia and policy. We documented her journey and invite you to watch.

Improving student outcomes starts with better teachers
While efforts to address pandemic-era learning loss have focused on summer school, tutoring and technology, SIEPR’s Eric Hanushek suggests it is time for schools to switch gears. Shining a light on the lasting impact of good—and bad—teachers, Hanushek makes the case for teacher-centered reforms that can boost college attendance, workforce preparedness and future salaries for all students.
