This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science provides $478,846 to support research on the macroeconomic implications of imperfectly competitive labor markets. The award will fund a collaborative research project led by the National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. to develop quantitative frameworks analyzing how minimum wage policies, antitrust policies, and tax policies can improve outcomes in labor markets with wage setting power. The...
This $272,999 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a research project at Duke University that aims to understand how the burden of market failures is shared across different households and income groups in the economy. The project will develop advanced tools and methods to estimate and analyze various economic distortions, such as markups, markdowns, and taxes, that prevent...

This $196,850 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant funds a collaborative research project that investigates factors contributing to regional and sectoral variation in labor organizing as employment conditions have changed in recent decades. The research uses a mixed methodology of quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, and on-site...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $600,000 in funding to the National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. (NBER) for research in macroeconomics. The project combines a large-scale consumer survey with information treatments and external data to investigate four key research questions: 1) the mechanisms underlying wage-price spirals, 2) how economic uncertainty affects household spending...
This NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $572,000 to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) will fund research to develop advanced computational methods for solving heterogeneous-agent macroeconomic models. The research will focus on expanding the capabilities of sequence-space methods to enable the analysis of models with diverse types of heterogeneity, such as location choice and firm-level differences. Key deliverables include new...
This $474,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research at Duke University to evaluate the impacts of declining public R&D investment and the pivot away from defense innovation in the U.S. The research aims to (i) examine the effects of federally-funded R&D on the development of complex, science-based "deep tech" innovations, and (ii) assess the impacts of major cuts to...

The research leverages confidential administrative data to theoretically examine and empirically test hypotheses about how structural changes within organizations, occupations,...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) provides $186,904 to Duke University from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025.

The grant supports research to develop quantitative frameworks analyzing the macroeconomic implications of imperfect competition in labor markets. Researchers will build on existing oligopsony models incorporating heterogeneous workers and firms to study the effects of minimum wage policy, antitrust policy regarding mergers, income tax policy design, and interactions between "classical" and "frictional" sources of labor market power. Models, empirical analyses, and codes will be made publicly available online. Researchers will also create new linked census data resources to study distributional impacts of mergers across demographic characteristics. Overall, the grant aims to generate tools and insights to better inform various policy approaches regarding labor market efficiency.
