NBER and the Evolution of Economic Research, 1920-2020
Presenter
Christina D. Romer, University of California, Berkeley
In observance of the 100th birthday of the National Bureau of Economic Research, present-day researchers wrote papers and made presentations at this year’s annual meeting of the American Economic Association, concentrating on major contributions to economic science by early leaders of the organization. Research Associate Christina Romer of the University of California, Berkeley described the evolution of business cycle dating, an activity that has made the NBER the quasi-official arbiter of recessions and recoveries in the United States.
