By: The Institute for New Economic Thinking INET is an organization created to promote changes in economic theory and practice through conferences, grants, and education initiatives. CIGI is an independent, nonpartisan think tank addressing international governance challenges, which has partnered with INET for these purposes. In response to the inadequacy of existing economic knowledge, as revealed by the current financial crisis, the Grant Program has been designed to identify key areas in economics that require significant attention and support the research that addresses these gaps. The process of inviting proposals and awarding grants functions to highlight current priorities and nourish grantees’ development of new approaches in economic theory and practice. http://www.youtube.com/ The Spring 2011 Grant Program funded proposals that focused on a range of topics: • Macroeconomics and Finance • Monetary and Financial Market Policy • Fiscal Policy • Political Economy • Economic History • History of Economic Thought • Historical Data Availability • Trends in Inequality in Emerging Markets • Microeconomic Assumptions Selected projects offer a diversity of approaches and global perspectives that target critical issues that have been neglected by conventional economic analysis. “As we look at the grant round in the spring of 2011, I can see a focus on financial instability, the instability of expectations, and the role of financial and monetary policy,” commented Dr. Robert Johnson, Executive Director of INET. “In this cycle, we also received more grant proposals with researchers from emerging markets. It’s exciting to see that our messages and our programs are starting to spread throughout the world, increasing both the relevance and effectiveness of INET in addressing the challenges faced by our global economy. INET plans to extend its geographic reach and focus more on scholars in the emerging markets as time proceeds.” “CIGI is proud to partner with INET to fund research into innovative solutions for the great economic challenges of the 21st century,” said CIGI Executive Director Thomas A. Bernes.
