The Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (BPEA) synthesize and popularize the policy implications of cutting-edge research in economics. Founded almost 50 years ago, BPEA remains a highly respected and influential outlet for economic ideas, as BPEA articles are consistently reliable, readable, and nonpartisan. They are often cited both in the popular media and in official policy documents produced by Congress, the executive branch, and other institutions like the Federal Reserve, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. Funds from this grant provide operational and administrative support for the continued production of the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity for a period of three years. Some of the topics that BPEA will focus on during this period include productivity and the economics of technological innovation, household decision-making, and data improvement.К
