Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the National Bureau of Economic Research is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to conducting and disseminating nonpartisan economic research. It relies on a network of more than 1,700 affiliated scholars at North American colleges and universities to study a wide range of economic issues. The NBER operates within the research services sector and does not make policy recommendations. The organization maintains a mid-sized staff and emphasizes collaborative scholarly work. A notable development in 2025 is a partnership with Analysis Group, marking the first economic consulting firm to join NBER's Corporate Associate program. Through its research activities, the NBER serves the academic community and other stakeholders seeking rigorous, nonpartisan economic analysis.
