The Brookings Papers on Economic Activity fosters research on current, large-scale issues in macroeconomics, broadly defined. The consistent emphasis is on innovative analysis that has an empirical orientation, takes real-world institutions seriously, and is relevant to economic policy. Papers are presented and discussed at conferences held twice each year, and the papers and discussant remarks from each conference are published in the journal a few months later. Research findings are described in a clear and accessible style to maximize their impact on the economics profession and economic policymaking; the intended audience includes analysts from universities, governments, and businesses.The editors of the Brookings Papers are Douglas Elmendorf of the Brookings Institution, Gregory Mankiw of Harvard University, and Lawrence Summers of Harvard University. Topics covered by the journal include fiscal and monetary policy, consumption and saving behavior, business investment, housing, asset pricing, labor markets, wage- and price-setting, business cycles, long-run economic growth, the distribution of income and wealth, international capital flows and exchange rates, international trade and development, and the macroeconomic implications of health costs, energy supply and demand, environmental issues, and the education system.The Brookings Papers attracts leading scholars to write and discuss papers. The topics and participants are chosen by the editors with input from an advisory panel. The editors solicit most of the papers but also consider proposals submitted in response to an open "call for papers." Extensive interaction among the editors, authors, and discussants preceding each conference, as well as spirited dialogue during the conferences by economists with a broad set of expertise, bolsters the quality of the finished papers. To ensure that a variety of views are included in this intellectual process, the authors, discussants, editorial advisers, and other conference participants represent a wide range of leading universities and policy institutions.The findings of papers presented at Brookings Papers conferences are disseminated widely. In addition to being published in the journal itself, most papers are included in working paper series in which the authors participate, and many are posted on the authors' web sites. The Brookings Papers' own web site reports the agendas for past and future conferences, and it provides short summaries of the papers. In addition, the editors collect information on electronic downloads of papers as well as references to papers in traditional and electronic media; this monitoring ensures that appropriate adjustments can be made to the selection and distribution of papers over time.In sum, the Brookings Papers is a central meeting place for leading scholars analyzing important economic problems and an important resource for influencing economic understanding beyond the academic world.

布鲁金斯学会的经济活动论文促进了对宏观经济学当前大规模问题的研究，宏观经济学的定义是宽泛的。一贯强调的是创新分析，这种分析以经验为导向，认真对待现实世界的制度，并与经济政策相关。论文在每年举行的两次会议上发表和讨论，每次会议的论文和讨论稿在几个月后发表在杂志上。研究结果以清晰易懂的风格描述，以最大限度地发挥其对经济学专业和经济政策制定的影响；目标受众包括来自大学、政府和企业的分析师。布鲁金斯学会的道格拉斯·埃尔门多夫、哈佛大学的格雷戈里·曼昆和哈佛大学的劳伦斯·萨默斯是布鲁金斯学会论文的编辑。该杂志涵盖的主题包括财政和货币政策、消费和储蓄行为、商业投资、住房、资产定价、劳动力市场、工资和价格制定、商业周期、长期经济增长、收入和财富分配、国际资本流动和汇率、国际贸易和发展，以及医疗成本、能源供求、环境问题和教育体系的宏观经济影响。布鲁金斯学会的论文吸引了知名学者撰写和讨论论文。主题和参与者由编辑选择，并由咨询小组提供意见。编辑们征集了大部分的论文，但也会考虑应公开的“征文要求”而提交的建议。在每一次会议之前，编辑、作者和讨论者之间的广泛互动，以及在会议期间由具有广泛专业知识的经济学家进行的积极对话，都有助于提高完成论文的质量。为了确保在这个知识过程中包含不同的观点，作者、讨论者、编辑顾问和其他会议参与者代表了广泛的一流大学和政策机构。在布鲁金斯文件会议上提交的论文的调查结果被广泛传播。除了在期刊上发表外，大多数论文都包括在作者参与的工作论文系列中，许多论文发表在作者的网站上。布鲁金斯学会自己的网站报道了过去和未来会议的议程，并提供了论文的简短摘要。此外，编辑还收集论文的电子下载信息以及传统和电子媒体上的论文参考信息；这种监控确保了随着时间的推移，可以对论文的选择和分发做出适当的调整。总而言之，布鲁金斯学会论文是主要学者分析重要经济问题的中心聚集地，也是影响学术界以外经济理解的重要资源。
