Brookings Papers on Economic Activity

该奖项为布鲁金斯宏观经济会议和随之而来的会议卷《布鲁金斯宏观经济活动论文》提供了部分资金。这次会议旨在让经济科学家齐聚一堂，专注于对经济政策问题的科学分析。这些问题包括不断变化的劳动力市场、金融机构、全球经济政策、医疗保健、数据改善、不平等和长期经济增长。在会议上提交的论文可在网上向公众查阅。他们进行实证分析，使用广泛的研究方法，包括现实世界的机构，并专注于与政策的相关性。该奖项通过提高用于决策的经济学的质量来促进国家利益。BPEA的工作不仅增加了经济文献的主体，而且增加了经济研究对我们对公共政策的理解的贡献。这在一定程度上是由于组织者、研究人员、讨论者和与会者之间的高度互动。每一位受邀出席的研究人员都经历了三轮密集的回顾、批评、讨论和编辑过程。BPEA鼓励科学家将该专业的最好知识应用于紧迫的政策问题，并利用政策关切为该专业指明新科学的方向。

This award provides partial funding for the Brookings Conference on Macroeconomics and the accompanying conference volume, the Brookings Papers on Macroeconomic Activity. The conference is designed to bring together economic scientists to focus on the scientific analysis of economic policy issues. These issues include the changing labor market, financial institutions, global economic policy, heath care, data improvement, inequality, and long run economic growth. The papers presented at the conference are available online to the public. They develop empirical analysis, employ a wide range of research methods, include real world institutions, and focus on relevance to policy. The award promotes the national interest by improving the quality of the economics used in making policy decisions.BPEA's work not only adds to the body of economic literature but increases the contributions of economic research to our understanding of public policy. This is in part due to a high degree of interaction among the organizers, researchers, discussants, and attendees. Each researcher invited to present engages in an intensive process of three rounds of review, criticism, discussion and editing. BPEA encourages scientists to apply the best knowledge of the profession to pressing policy issues and uses policy concerns to point the profession's way toward new science.
