Explore Focused Work Shaping Today’s Economic Policy
Research reaches impact when it is seen, understood, and used. These metrics reflect how evidence moves into policy conversations, media coverage, and public awareness.
The Rise of Populism and the Future of Economic Policy
Rising inequality, higher costs of living, and growing economic insecurity are reshaping how people experience the economy. At the same time, support for populist political movements—especially authoritarian variants—has increased in the United States and other democracies.
This initiative examines how these trends are connected and what they mean for the future of economic policy. Through a series of essays, researchers across economics, political science, and sociology explore the drivers behind these shifts and identify policy approaches that support both economic growth and democratic stability.
U.S. Inequality Tracker
Understanding inequality requires clear, accessible data. The Inequality Tracker provides an interactive view of how income and wealth are distributed across U.S. households over time, helping users explore long-term trends and shifts in economic growth.
By making complex data easier to navigate, this tool allows policymakers, researchers, and the public to better understand where growth is happening, who is benefiting, and where gaps persist.
