Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $550,000 over two years to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) to support macroeconomic policy research. EPI plans to use these funds to continue to produce policy-relevant research on the ways in which macroeconomic policy can boost living standards for working Americans, including work on different aspects of the relationships between unemployment, wage growth, inflation, and productivity.
This follows Open Philanthropy’s July 2018 support and falls within its focus area of macroeconomic stabilization policy.
