Brookings Institution
To promote independent, unbiased, and non-partisan research on regulatory economics, including topics such as financial markets and emerging technologies
This grant provides two years of operational support for the Center on Regulation and Markets, a project of the Brookings Institution that provides independent, non-partisan research on regulatory policy, applied broadly across microeconomic fields. Led by Sanjay Patnaik, the Center creates and promotes independent economic scholarship to inform regulatory policymaking, the regulatory process, and the efficient and equitable functioning of markets. Research supported by the Center addresses a number of pressing issues in regulatory economics, including financial markets, emerging technologies, consumer protection, regulatory processes, data privacy, common ownership, and how to accurately measure market power. Grant funds will allow the Center to commission four policy papers and four policy briefs on topics in regulatory economics; hold eight events aimed at disseminating research to academics, policymakers, regulators, the press and the public; and maintain and update the Center’s website as a general dissemination hub for information about the Center, its research, events, and other activities.
