Our Initiatives
The Tobin Center supports research and policy engagement in seven key economic issue areas:
Producing world class research to improve the quality, productivity, and fairness of the US health system.
Pushing the frontier of regulatory economics research to meet the rise of large digital platforms.
Generating insights on childcare, education systems, and hard-to-attain long-term educational outcomes.
Studying the impacts that institutions and policies have on economic opportunity, poverty, and inequality.
Supporting leading work on electric vehicles, climate-resilient infrastructure, biofuel policy, macroeconomic effects of climate change, and carbon taxation.
Creating the conditions to make it easy for government leaders to incorporate rigorous research into policymaking.
Engaging in supply chain research in collaboration with MIT and London School of Economics.
