FUNDING-Washington
Center for Equitable Growth - Grant Program; January 31,
2018
Description
The
academic grants program is building a portfolio of cutting-edge scholarly
research investigating the various channels through which economic inequality
may (or may not) impact economic growth and stability, including both direct
and indirect pathways. The center considers proposals on the consequences of
economic inequality across wages, benefits, incomes, wealth, and job quality,
as well as group dimensions of inequality including gender, race, and
ethnicity. The center also considers proposals on the causes of inequality to
the extent that understanding these casual pathways will help academics and
policymakers identify and understand key channels through which economic
inequality may impact growth and stability.
Equitable
Growth supports inquiry utilizing many different kinds of evidence, relying on
a variety of methodological approaches and cutting across academic disciplines,
including economics, political science, sociology, history, social psychology,
and others. The center is especially interested in projects using
administrative data, and other new or innovative data
sources.
The
center is currently requesting proposals in four areas:
1.
Macroeconomics
2.
Human Capital and the Labor Market
3.
Innovation
4.
Institutions
The
center encourages scholars to interpret these areas broadly. In general, the
center is willing to consider any exceptional proposal on issues related to
inequality and economic growth.
