The NBER is a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to conducting economic research and to disseminating research findings among academics, public policy makers and business professionals. NBER-affiliated researchers study a wide range of topics and they employ many different methods in their work. The NBER research brings critical information to many important public policy debates. Affiliation with the NBER is a privilege that enables a researcher to participate in a vibrant scholarly community that is committed to active and open discussion of research.

They play a critical role in helping to identify promising research initiatives, in recruiting new Faculty Research Fellow – the junior members of each program – and in raising funds to support program activities. The NBER is organized around twenty research programs, each of which consists of scholars whose expertise relates to a common core topic.

Jayati Ghosh has received the 2023 Galbraith Award from the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA). Following in the spirit of John Kenneth Galbraith, the AAEA choses economists for this award according to these criteria: Galbraith’s capacity to integrate scholarship with statesmanship, and his unparalleled record of achievements in research, education and public service, embody the spirit and aspiration of agricultural economists. Galbraith’s outstanding achievements demonstrate that agricultural and applied economics are effective launching pads for research and for policy careers that address all ranges of social issues, and have impacts on societal thinking and global policy. AAEAs aim with this award is to recognize scholars and leaders who, like J.K. Galbraith, possess a record of intellectual leadership with service to the nation and the world.
