Resources for Policymakers
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. Our faculty regularly testify on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures, and advise government officials.
Policy Briefs
- Bloom, N., Davis, S., Barrero, J., Foster, K., Meyer, B., & Mihaylov, E. (2025). US executives predict work from home is here to stay. Policy Brief.
- Davis, S., Qian, M., & Zeng, W. (2025). A Comprehensive GIS Database for China’s Surface Transport Network with Implications for Transport and Socioeconomics Research. Working Paper.
- Redding, S. (2025). Evaluating Transport Improvements in Spatial Equilibrium. Working Paper.
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.
