The Penn Institute for Economic Research

PIER supports faculty and students in advancing the science of economics and providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and research. PIER sponsors research programs, brings in distinguished visiting lecturers, and publishes findings through its working paper series—all efforts which have helped solidify Penn’s role as one of the leading institutions in the world for the study of economics.
