The Washington Center for Equitable Growth seeks to deepen our understanding of whether and how inequality affects economic growth and stability. Its 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, both directly and indirectly. Equitable Growth supports inquiry utilizing many different kinds of evidence, relying on a variety of methodological approaches and cutting across academic disciplines. It is especially interested in projects using administrative data and other new or innovative data sources, as well as projects that utilize geo-coded data or rigorous comparative case studies that allow for insight into the role of place in shaping economic opportunities and outcomes.
The Center is currently requesting proposals in these four core areas of interest:
- Macroeconomics
- Human Capital and the Labor Market
- Innovation
- Institutions
