Brookings Papers on Economic Activity Conferences

美国国家科学基金会将为《布鲁金斯经济活动论文》提供部分资助，该期刊将每半年召开一次会议，随后发表论文和进行讨论。这些会议旨在将经济科学家聚集在一起，集中对经济政策问题进行科学分析。这些问题包括：劳动力市场流动性、新冠疫情带来的挑战和教训；货币政策面临新挑战；通货膨胀的决定因素；危机救援项目的经验教训；流行病政策对经济危机影响的评估；联邦债务的长期影响；大流行后恢复的动态；经济活力;生产率与技术创新经济学；气候变化宏观经济学；还有种族和性别的经济学。这些论文将在会议上发表，并将在网上向公众提供。他们将发展实证分析，将采用广泛的研究方法，并将重点放在影响美国经济的现实世界问题上，包括美国和国外的增长和生产力的未来。该奖项将通过提高决策中使用的经济学的质量来促进国家利益，并将为有助于美国经济竞争力的政策提供更好的证据。布鲁金斯学会论文的目标是支持直接影响经济政策的经济研究，重点关注宏观经济政策。BPEA会议将以组织者、研究人员、讨论者和与会者之间的高度互动为标志。每位受邀参会的研究人员将经历三轮评审、批评、讨论和编辑的密集过程。BPEA将鼓励科学家将该专业的最佳知识应用于紧迫的政策问题，并将利用政策问题为该专业指明通往新科学的道路。布鲁金斯论文会议的更广泛影响体现在三个层面。首先，这些论文本身可以通过向当前的决策者提供信息而产生直接影响。第二，会议将在公众的政策和经济教育方面发挥更广泛的作用；由于论文的相关性和会议收到的大量新闻关注，这一作用得以实现。第三，该系列会议将为直接解决政策问题的学术研究提供重要支持。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Support from the National Science Foundation will provide partial funding for the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (BPEA), which will consist of semiannual conferences with subsequent publication of the papers and discussion. The conferences will be designed to bring together economic scientists to focus on the scientific analysis of economic policy issues. These issues include: labor market mobility and challenges and lessons from COVID; new challenges for monetary policy; determinants of inflation; lessons from crisis relief programs; an assessment of the effect of epidemiological policy on the economic crisis; long-term implications of the federal debt; dynamics of post-pandemic recovery; economic dynamism; productivity and the economics of technological innovation; macroeconomics of climate change; and, the economics of race and gender. The papers will be presented at the conference and will be available online to the public. They will develop empirical analysis, will employ a wide range of research methods, and will focus on real world problems that affect the U.S. economy including the future of growth and productivity in the U.S. and abroad. The award will promote the national interest by improving the quality of the economics used in making policy decisions and will provide better evidence for policies that contribute to the competitiveness of the U.S. economy.The objective of the Brookings Papers is to support economic research that directly informs economic policy, with a focus on macroeconomic policy broadly interpreted. The BPEA conferences will be marked by a high degree of interaction among the organizers, researchers, discussants, and attendees. Each researcher invited to present will engage in an intensive process of three rounds of review, criticism, discussion and editing. BPEA will encourage scientists to apply the best knowledge of the profession to pressing policy issues and will use policy concerns to point the profession's way toward new science. The broader impacts of the Brookings Papers conference occur at three levels. First, the papers themselves can have direct impact by informing current policy makers. Second, the conference will play a broader role in the policy and economic education of the general public; this role is enabled because of the relevance of the papers and the considerable press attention the conference receives. Third, the conference series will provide important support in the academic community for research that directly tackles policy issues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
