SCHOOL/UNIT DESCRIPTION:
The Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) is Stanford's thought leader for understanding the economic challenges, opportunities, and policies affecting people worldwide. For 40 years, SIEPR's mission has been to support research that informs economic policymaking while engaging future leaders and scholars.
SIEPR seeks to educate and energize a broad, diverse community of policymakers and influencers, including academics, students, business leaders, the media, and the public, about the most important economic issues. It does this by connecting the research to policy areas and disseminating it to policymakers and influencers, providing state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure, delivering cutting-edge thought leadership, and deepening relationships among various stakeholders by hosting frequent conferences and gatherings. SIEPR's vision is to raise living standards and improve quality of life by making economic policy more effective at all levels.
Propelled by philanthropy, SIEPR makes an impact across the U.S. and around the world. We focus our efforts on producing policy-relevant research, engaging tomorrow’s leaders and scholars, and building a rich and diverse network.
