National Bureau of Economic Research

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that facilitates research on and analysis of major economic issues. It provides background studies and data to inform decision-making in the public and private sectors, without making policy recommendations. Through its network of academic economists, NBER supports research programs and grants, convenes projects and conferences, maintains datasets, publishes working papers, and disseminates research findings.
