Major Activities

Activity 2

Economic studies:the economic studies program analyzes current and emerging economic policy issues in the united states and worldwide. Its research aims to increase the public's understanding of how the economy works and what can be done to make it work better. In the past year, economic studies experts examined the federal budget deficit and the rising national debt, and commented on such diverse issues as the labor market and job creation, fiscal and monetary policy, and the role of education and opportunity in economic mobility. Economic studies also produces the brookings papers on economic activity, the leading source of policy-oriented, empirical research on macroeconomics. In addition to publishing numerous works of scholarship in fy 2011, economic studies held over 75 events both private and open to the general public, and economic studies experts testified 9 times before congressional committees and subcommittees.

Activity 3

Metropolitan policy:the metropolitan policy program (metro program) provides decision makers with cutting-edge trend analysis, research and policy ideas that empower metropolitan areas to compete and prosper. The program believes that future prosperity is dependent on delivering a next economy that is driven by exports, powered by low carbon, fueled by innovation, rich with opportunity, and led by metropolitan areas-while simultaneously building smart, sustainable places that embrace demographic and economic change and technological advances. In the past year, the metro program released first-of-its-kind trend analyses on transit accessibility and the clean economy, hosted a global metropolitan summit in chicago, and launched the brookings-rockefeller project on state and metropolitan innovation, which develops fiscally-responsible state policies and practical metropolitan-led solutions that leaders can use to move toward the next economy. Metro program experts also examined issues related to exports, infrastructure, transportation, poverty, employment and immigration. In addition to publishing numerous works of scholarship in fy 2011, the metro program held over twenty-five public and private events, and metro program experts presented in over twenty briefings and testimony before white house and agency committees, congressional committees and subcommittees, and state and local committees.
