Washington Center for Equitable Growth 2020 Request for Proposals
Posted: 11/10/2019 (Conference)
The Washington Center for Equitable Growth is pleased to announce its 2020 Request for Proposals.
Through our annual competitive grants program, we support cutting-edge research investigating whether and how inequality affects economic growth and stability. Our core areas of interest are:
- Human capital and well-being, particularly whether economic inequality affects the development of human capital, and to what extent the institutions that support human capital development mitigate inequality’s potential impacts
- The labor market, particularly how the labor market affects equitable growth and how inequality may, in turn, affect the labor market
- Macroeconomic policy, particularly the implications of the large and sustained increase in inequality for the long-term stability of our economy and its growth potential
- Market structure, particularly the role of market structure in determining economic growth and its distribution, and the incidence and consequences of increased market power in the economy
We are particularly interested in dimensions of inequality, including race, ethnicity, gender, and place, as well as the ways in which public polices affect the relationship between inequality and growth.
We are grateful for the support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which is generously supporting Equitable Growth’s 2020 Request for Proposals in order to spur research on the impact of domestic outsourcing on the U.S. workforce.
