International Economic Policy
IIEP and its faculty specialize in research on international economic policy, including research on political economy, trade, governance systems, policymaking, welfare systems, cities, and economic theory. IIEP hosts a multitude of events focusing on international economic policy in the U.S., China, India, and the world. Past events include our annual conference on China’s Economy and U.S.-China Economic Relations, our Envisioning India series, annual IMF Regional Economic Outlook reviews, book launch events, and more. IIEP regularly partners with institutions including the World Bank, the IMF, the International Growth Center, and DC-area universities to bring together academics, policymakers, and students in international economic policy. IIEP also works closely with the Elliott School’s Master’s in International Economic Policy (MIEP) program, coordinating with graduate students to support their research and professional development.
