The Economics program
supports research designed to improve the understanding of the processes and
institutions of the U.S. economy and of the world system of which it is a part.
This program also strengthens both empirical and theoretical economic analysis
as well as the methods for rigorous research on economic behavior. It supports
research in almost every area of economics, including econometrics, economic
history, environmental economics, finance, industrial organization,
international economics, labor economics, macroeconomics, mathematical
economics, and public finance.
The Economics program welcomes proposals for individual or multi-investigator
research projects, doctoral dissertation improvement awards, conferences,
workshops, symposia, experimental research, data collection and dissemination,
computer equipment and other instrumentation, and research experience for
undergraduates. The program places a high priority on interdisciplinary
research. Investigators are encouraged to submit proposals of joint interest to
the Economics Program and other NSF programs and NSF initiative areas. The
program places a high priority on broadening participation and encourages
proposals from junior faculty, women, other underrepresented minorities,
Research Undergraduate Institutions, and EPSCoR states.
The program also funds conferences and interdisciplinary research that
strengthens links among economics and the other social and behavioral sciences
as well as mathematics and statistics.
Deadline: January 18, 2008, August 18, 2008
