CEPR turned 15 this year! Fifteen years of speaking the economic truth to power. To celebrate, we’ve compiled a list of some of our top accomplishments over the past 15 years – accomplishments that we couldn’t have achieved without your help. Here are just a few:
- We tracked reconstruction aid to Haiti, which led to the Assessing Progress in Haiti Act
- We showed that work-family policies have little to no impact on business operations, while benefiting workers and families.
- We got the Public Editor of the New York Times to come out in favor of changing the way the paper reports on budget numbers
- We showed that IMF policies led to Argentina’s severe recession and subsequent default, and then correctly predicted that the Argentine government’s policies would be successful after it broke with the IMF
- We showed that raising the minimum wage does not cause massive unemployment
