\n\t\tOur Latest Recommendations\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tOur favorite book sources\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/a> VoxDev.org <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a> The Brookings Institution <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

The Brookings Institution<\/a> is the intellectual home for many a public-policy figure after they’ve left the spotlight. Based in Washington, D.C., some of their content is US-centric, but because of all that policy nous they have accumulated, their foreign affairs analyses are also very sharp.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/a> The Peterson Institute <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

The Peterson Institute for International Economics<\/a> does a lot of great work on questions that affect multiple countries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/a> Marginal Revolution <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

Marginal Revolution<\/a> is a blog run by Georgetown economists Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok. It’s quirky, but they’re a universally curious bunch, and they tend to see new trends in economics coming up before they’ve hit the mainstream.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/a> The Economist <\/i> <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

An economics-research list wouldn’t be complete without The Economist<\/a>. If you’re happening to be looking for a new book to read, their weekly book recommendations are a good place to start.<\/p>\n

Although their subscription is paid, you can check out their podcasts<\/a>, which include snippets from interviews that they write about in their weekly subscription, as well as a selection of the audio versions of three of their weekly articles. If you’re a dedicated podcast listener in lieu of buying a subscription, you won’t be missing much.<\/p>\n

Oh, and their covid-related coverage is also free.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/a> Project Gutenberg <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

Project Gutenberg<\/a> brings together many (over 60,000) free-ebooks that have entered the public domain. This is the place to go if you’re wanting to read up on some Adam Smith or any of the worldly philosophers. Click their “In Other Languages” tab on the left to see works that aren’t in English.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGo to the list of research topics\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSee other formats for accessing information\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tView our latest podcast recommendations\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tView the CDE course page\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
