We just reached a big anniversary:  “Economic Policy Working Group Reaches 15-Year Milestone in Providing Rigorous Policy Analysis and Solutions for American Prosperity,” as the Hoover Daily Report headlined in a just-published article. Here is the article https://www.hoover.org/news/economic-policy-working-group-reaches-15-year-milestone. It provides a beautiful summary of the people, seminars, working papers, and, of course, the books. And the “Rigorous Policy Analysis” and the “Solutions for American Prosperity” are key, and we have always emphasized the international benefits to the world. Here is the list of books, starting with the latest:

And we are just getting started: Last Wednesday at the Economic Policy Working Group (EPWG), Peter Henry talked about “The Global Infrastructure Gap: Potential, Perils, and a Framework for Distinction,” and next Wednesday Michael Bordo will speak about “Muddling Through or Tunneling Through: UK Monetary and Fiscal Exceptionalism During the Great Inflation,” and then  on February 15, 2023 Ellen McGrattan will speak about “On the Nature of Entrepreneurship,” and the following Wednesday Erik Hurst will talk about “The Distributional Impact of the Minimum Wage in the Short and Long Run”

The Working Group’s meetings are now on a virtual platform. As the article states: “the level of participation from policy makers and scholars across the nation and the world has grown substantially.” And we will have another big conference on May 12, 2023. It is so important to keep up the work.
