Institute for International Economic Policy

Views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of GW University. The Institute research program helps develop effective policy options and academic analysis in a time of growing controversies about international economic integration in many countries around the world. The Institute's work also encompasses policy responses for those who face continued poverty and financial crises despite worldwide economic growth. Affiliated faculty have appointments in the departments of economics, history, geography, and political science, as well as the schools of international affairs, law, business, public policy and public administration, and public health. IIEP also serves as the institutional home of the Elliott School's International Economic Policy (MIEP, formerly ITIP) and International Development Studies (IDS) programs. MIEP attracts outstanding master's candidates from around the world who are studying issues directly related to IIEP activities. IDS provides a broad understanding and appreciation of current development theories and issues, as well as the processes involved in formulating policies and implementing development projects. IIEP also supports the Elliott School's certificate program in International Economic Policy while working in close collaboration with other George Washington University research centers and academic departments. The Institute takes full advantage of GW's unique location near the world epicenter of international economic policy. Trade Representative, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Departments of State, Treasury, and Commerce, Federal Reserve Board, International Monetary Fund, and the White House all lie within a ten-block radius of IIEP.
