The Center for Political Economy makes annual grants to Columbia faculty and graduate students to support the goals of identifying and advancing the most promising post-2008 developments within economics and promoting a new political economy. Recognizing the need for interdisciplinary research and exchanges, applications that bring together scholars from two or more disciplines are prioritized.
Faculty and graduate students awardees become integral to the Center. In addition to receiving funding, awardees participate in Center events and meetings with fellow award recipients.
