Resources for Journalists
SIEPR experts produce monthly policy briefs and are available to provide insights on a vast array of economic policy topics organized in our Focal Areas. We also offer a Media Fellowship program for journalists working on reporting projects related to economic policy. For more information and for help reaching our faculty, please contact Adam Gorlick, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, at agorlick@stanford.edu.
Focal Areas
Our faculty affiliates delve deeply into a dozen focal areas that go to the heart of the most pressing economic policy issues. But economic research doesn’t always fit into just one category. That’s why you’ll find plenty of overlap in our scholars’ interests that reflects novel collaborations and innovative research agendas.
