This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $461,469 to the National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. (NBER) to conduct research on inflation measurement and welfare analysis. The key objectives are to:

  1. Develop new methodologies for measuring cost of living and inflation that account for variation in household preferences.
  2. Propose novel measures of well-being that incorporate future expectations.
  3. Improve approaches for cross-country welfare comparisons beyond GDP.
  4. Analyze aggregate societal welfare while considering uneven distribution of economic changes.

This 3-year research project, running from September 2024 to August 2027, aims to leverage microeconomic data to provide more nuanced and accurate insights into individual and societal well-being. The work is expected to have implications for understanding short-term economic phenomena as well as long-term structural changes.
