Description
The NSF Economics program supports research that improves understanding of the processes and institutions of the U.S. economy and the world system of which it is a part. It strengthens empirical and theoretical economic analysis and methods for rigorous research on economic behavior. Its scope includes econometrics, economic history, environmental economics, finance, industrial organization, international economics, labor economics, macroeconomics, mathematical economics, and public finance.
The program welcomes individual and multi-investigator research, doctoral dissertation improvement projects, conferences, symposia, experiments, data collection and dissemination, computer equipment and other instrumentation, and research experiences for undergraduates. It prioritizes interdisciplinary research, including connections with other social and behavioral sciences, mathematics, and statistics. It also encourages proposals from groups and regions that traditionally have not participated fully in science, mathematics, and engineering.
