Founded in 1920, the NBER is a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to conducting economic research and to disseminating research findings among academics, public policy makers, and business professionals. NBER-affiliated researchers study a wide range of topics and they employ many different methods in their work. Key focus areas include developing new statistical measurements, estimating quantitative models of economic behavior, and analyzing the effects of public policies. NBER History Over the years the NBER's research agenda has encompassed a wide variety of issues that confront our society. Early research focused on the aggregate economy, examining in detail the business cycle and long-term economic growth. Simon Kuznets' pioneering work on national income accounting, Wesley Mitchell's influential study of the business cycle, and Milton Friedman's research on the demand for money and the determinants of consumer spending were among the early studies done at the NBER. A summary of the NBER's early development can be found at: Toward a Firmer Basis of Economic Policy: The Founding of the National Bureau of Economic Research, Solomon Fabricant, 1984 The NBER Today The NBER is the nation's leading nonprofit economic research organization. Thirty Two Nobel Prize winners in Economics and thirteen past chairs of the President's Council of Economic Advisers have held NBER affiliations. The more than 1,400 professors of economics and business now teaching at colleges and universities in North America who are NBER researchers are the leading scholars in their fields. Most NBER-affiliated researchers are either Faculty Research Fellows (FRFs) or Research Associates (RAs). Faculty Research Fellows are typically junior scholars. Research Associates, whose appointments are approved by the NBER Board of Directors, hold tenured positions at their home institutions.

Its audience includes government officials and legislators, business and labor leaders, management and staff at international organizations, university-based scholars and their students, experts at other research institutions and nongovernmental organizations, the media, and the public at large. Our staff of about 70 includes 20 senior researchers, as well as 15 nonresident fellows, all distinguished for their combination of research expertise and policy experience. The Institute's agenda emphasizes international trade and investment, international finance and exchange rates, macroeconomic policy and crisis response, globalization and human welfare, and studies of key economic regions. Institute staff have unique expertise on the major economies with special reference to Brazil, China, the European Union, Japan, Korea, and the Middle East, as well as the United States itself and its neighbors Canada and Mexico. CURRENT PRIORITIES Current priorities include: improving macroeconomic policy after the global financial crisis, including fiscal rules and monetary tools; truth telling about the benefits of globalization and the costs of closed economies; the rebalancing of China's growth model and its impact on the world economy; globalization, inequality, and labor market adjustment; exchange rate interventions and reform of the international monetary system; regional trade agreements and multinational investment rule, notably the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA); sustainable growth models for Europe, Japan, and the United States; financial stability, including cost-benefit analysis of global regulation; and macroeconomic and trade aspects of decarbonization. INTELLECTUAL IMPACT Our research has provided some of the intellectual foundations for many major international policy initiatives of the past four decades: reforms of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), initiated by the G-20 in 2009–10; creation of the TPP initiative and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum; quantitative easing and adapting monetary policy to a low interest rate world; reform of US sanctions policy; initiation and implementation of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue between the United States and China; the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other US free trade agreements (notably with Korea); adoption of international banking standards and broader financial regulatory reforms; countercyclical fiscal policy and increased female labor force participation in Japan; increasingly realistic approaches to sovereign debt; and linking fiscal stimulus and structural reform in the euro area. Other influential analyses have addressed: economic reform in the European Union, China, the former communist countries, and Latin America (including what became known as the Washington Consensus); foreign direct investment into and out of the United States; the sources, benefits, and growth of services trade; the impact on wages of trade liberalization; reconsidering the political economy of the "Resource Curse" and the "Middle Income Trap;" the links between gender, management, and diversity and corporate profitability; and measures of currency manipulation.

W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research
The W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, a private, not-for-profit, nonpartisan, independent research organization, has studied policy-related issues of employment and unemployment since its founding in 1945. The Institute is headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Institute research focuses on labor markets, addressing several core areas: the causes of unemployment and the effectiveness of social safety net programs in mitigating its effects; education and training systems to improve workers’ employability and earnings; and the influence of state and local economic development policies on local labor markets. The Institute also assesses emerging trends affecting workers and labor markets in its core research areas. The Institute carries out its mission by disseminating its research and through direct services. The communications team makes sure Institute insight reaches the researchers, policymakers, advocates and practitioners who can put it to use. The Employment Management Services Division administers federal and state-funded employment and training programs for disadvantaged and dislocated workers in Southwest Michigan. History During the Great Depression, William Erastus Upjohn, founder of The Upjohn Company, embarked on a grand experiment. He provided land for displaced workers in the community so they could plant a garden or work on the company’s farm co-op to provide for themselves and their families. Six weeks before his death, in 1932, Upjohn created the W.E. Upjohn Unemployment Trustee Corporation to support the initiative. Three years later, federal legislation established the Unemployment Insurance System, which replaced the land with cash assistance as a social safety net for displaced workers. On July 1, 1945, after consultation with national research and policy experts, the Trustee Corp. created what is today the W. E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. Dr. Upjohn’s generous gift in creating the Trustee Corporation provides primary financial means to support the Institute’s activities. The endowment provides the Institute with unique opportunities of long-term sustainability, consistency in purpose and the freedom to research issues and experiment with innovative approaches in service of its mission.

To stimulate discussion of economic issues, the Levy Institute disseminates its findings through publications, conferences, workshops, seminars, congressional testimony, and other activities to an international audience of public officials, private sector executives, academics, and the general public. An annual conference on the state of the U.S. and world economies is dedicated to the economic legacy of Hyman P. Minsky, the late financial economist and Levy Institute distinguished scholar. The Levy Institute's programs give Bard College undergraduates the opportunity to meet the prominent figures who give seminars, attend conferences, and serve on the research staff. Through a Levy Institute affiliation with Cambridge University, one or two Bard undergraduates may spend their junior year at Christ's College. Integrated activities of the Levy Institute and Bard College include the annual award of the Levy Economics Institute Prize to a graduating senior with an outstanding academic record in economics, and several annual scholarships for students concentrating in economics.
The War on Poverty In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson founded the Urban Institute to “help solve the problem that weighs heavily on the hearts and minds of all of us—the problem of the American city and its people.” The Urban Institute was born at a time of severe polarization, as Americans clashed about whether and how to grapple with the country’s deep legacy of racism and segregation. Early attempts to lift families out of poverty and narrow inequities were often stabs in the dark without a clear understanding of whether new policies were working—or for whom. Among Urban’s first contributions was a microsimulation tool that forecasted the combined effects of federal antipoverty programs on family well-being. How did cash benefits, food stamps, tax credits, and other subsidies interact? And were they helping people get ahead? Since then, Urban researchers have built a portfolio of microsimulation models on taxes, health insurance, and retirement security. Each is built to predict how people, communities, and spending will be affected by proposed policy reforms—giving policymakers and the public crucial information to better shape and target solutions.

It is an achievement that is the product of constant and persistent collective effort from the academic and administrative sectors in the university, and funding agencies outside of the institution in ensuring first-class quality education for every student in the university. Research Excellence The QS University Rankings also measures research productivity as part of its rankings exercise. Since 2011, research activity at UBD has increased exponentially, with the number of papers being published growing every year and having more than tripled over the last 5 years. Research at UBD continues to be driven by national relevance, with emphasis on innovative and entrepreneurial initiatives and frameworks. Such initiatives are made possible through UBD’s active networks and engagement with industry players to ensure its research and teachings are relevant to the needs of the market. In the last three years, UBD has filed over 40 patents through its Innovation and Enterprise Office, eight of which have been granted both in Brunei and internationally. UBD aims to leverage on its comparative niche advantages and major research projects in biodiversity, herbal medicine, halal products, Islamic governance and energy are ongoing, all of which are of particular interest nationally and are expected to have global impact. Lifelong Learning The success of UBD students is not confined to the academic areas only. In fact, UBD seeks to produce holistic and well­rounded generation leaders who are guided by three principles: innovation and entrepreneurship, industry-relevant skills, and a passion for lifelong learning. This is in line with its motto, “Ke Arah Kesempurnaan Insan” or “Towards Human Excellence”.
