Economic Geography
Powerful forces in the modern economy are pulling places apart but also seeding opportunity for growth and renewal. EIG’s work aims to understand these forces to foster an inclusive economy where prosperity is shared across communities.
Economic Dynamism
A dynamic economy benefits the American worker by creating jobs, growing wages, and providing opportunities for all segments of the workforce, thus delivering a more prosperous and fulfilling future.
Housing
Advancing policies to expand housing supply, improve affordability, and ensure that more communities can support economic growth, opportunity, and upward mobility for American workers and families.
Retirement Security
Developing strategies to support more equitable and inclusive mechanisms for building wealth, rewarding work, and boosting well-being for American workers.
Non-Compete Reform
Restrictive non-compete agreements limit worker mobility, suppress wages, and weaken competition. EIG’s work supports reforms that allow more Americans to pursue better jobs, start new businesses, and share in the benefits of a more dynamic economy.
Workforce & Demographics
Analyzing how demographic trends, emerging technologies, and the evolution of work are shaping the U.S. economy and identifying policies to support prosperity for all American workers.
Skilled Immigration
Skilled immigrants help fuel innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth across the United States. EIG’s work identifies policies to attract and retain global talent, strengthen American competitiveness, and expand opportunity in communities nationwide.
Opportunity Zones
Opportunity Zones are designed to drive long-term investment into economically distressed communities. Research and policy analysis can help assess what is working, identify opportunities for improvement, and strengthen the policy’s impact for residents, businesses, and communities.
