The project uses a mixed-method approach,...
- This $285,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research to develop new statistical methods to guide economic and public policy decisions in rapidly changing environments. The research aims to build on recent advances in statistical decision theory, causal inference, and machine learning to create econometric models that can effectively inform evidence-based policymaking while...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $101,598 project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Chicago. The grant funds the development of new statistical methods to help researchers, analysts, and policymakers isolate the effects of changes in business and government policies using observational data and natural experiments. Key objectives include: (a) creating computationally simple methods to precisely identify causal...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $221,000 project grant to the University of Chicago under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year grant will support collaborative research examining heterogeneity, risk premia, and macroeconomic fluctuations. The funding will enable researchers to investigate how differences across economic agents impact asset prices and aggregate outcomes. Relevant contextual details include the program's goal of...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science awarded a $282,000 Project Grant to the National Bureau Of Economic Research Inc. doing business as NBER. The grant is part of the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) and will fund collaborative research on intermediaries and product selection in the municipal bond market from July 15, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The research aims to contribute to scientific understanding of how social,...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, was awarded a $249,119 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The 3-year grant, which commenced on September 1, 2023, will support collaborative research on how the increasing "burden of knowledge" required for scientific progress has slowed the pace...

The grant supports a multi-year research project conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. (NBER), a non-profit research organization. The project aims to advance the understanding of economic development, social mobility, and social conflict. Key components include: Developing new...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science awarded $189,000 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to Princeton University for a project grant titled "Liquidity, Intangibles and Stagnation." The project will investigate the interaction between financial frictions, growth and fluctuations with a focus on intangible capital. Key products include developing macroeconomic models incorporating financial...
This three-year, $279,847 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research using administrative data to study private business investment in the United States. The primary products will be the development of new theoretical frameworks and empirical models to measure self-created intangible investments by privately-owned firms that are often transferred upon sale. This will advance understanding of these latent investments' role in tax policy and administration. Specifically, the awardee, the Regents of the University of Minnesota, will construct longitudinal panels to track business and owner activities over time and quantify how investments generate income and wealth. The research aims to fill gaps in current knowledge limited by business surveys with little longitudinal data on assets or transfers. New theory explicitly incorporating transferable self-created intangibles will also be developed and tested against actual tax filings. This project was deemed worthy of support through the National Science Foundation's merit review process.
