We believe effective government is critical to managing the macroeconomic risks to full employment and broader economic stability. Our work on state capacity focuses on how government institutions need to be reimagined and empowered in a manner that drives greater competence, responsiveness, and broader political consensus when confronted with emerging economic challenges.
Research and policy proposals aimed at strengthening the operational capabilities governance structure of federal agencies—helping them execute industrial, labor market, and macroeconomic policy more effectively.
Examinations of statutory authorities and legal frameworks that enable or constrain economic policy implementation. We identify underutilized legal tools and pathways consistent with robust approaches to statutory interpretation so that agencies and policymakers are appropriately empowered.
Developing and designing creative, lawful policy tools available to the executive branch and independent agencies—focused on advancing full employment, higher investment, and macroeconomic stability.
