Equitable Growth is excited to launch a new Request for Proposals for research on the effectiveness of the fiscal response to the COVID-19 recession in generating better, more equitable outcomes for workers and the macroeconomy. We’re primarily interested in proposals examining policy interventions from March 2020 to March 2021, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act. The research should aim to provide policymakers with actionable insights to inform effective policies to address future recessions.
