Description
The Hoover Institution’s Economic Fellowship Program examines the foundations of economic freedom: rule of law, separation of powers, property rights, free trade, patent protections, and limited government. Its policy priorities include tax reform to maximize economic growth, reining in the administrative state, and challenging myths surrounding economic inequality, minimum wage increases, trade protectionism, nationalizing the health sector, and economic mobility.
Designed for junior to mid-level staffers and appointees with demanding daily responsibilities, the program offers time for reflection and intellectual renewal. Activities take place in Washington, D.C., and at Hoover’s Stanford University location over four months. Hoover scholars and guests from other academic and policy institutions lead lectures, roundtable discussions, interactive case studies, and panels. Topics vary annually within the broad areas of economics and economic growth.
