Research Initiatives

Six standing groups, one research standard

Every initiative runs its own weekly working session, feeds papers into the journal, and welcomes new members each quarter.

Initiative 01

Studies pricing, insurance markets, and access — recent work covered hospital price transparency rules.

Initiative 02

Tracks automation's effect on labor markets, productivity, and firm strategy.

Initiative 03

Applies microeconomic theory to competitive strategy, pricing, and market entry decisions.

Initiative 04

Writes policy briefs on housing, taxation, and regulation, often built from Case Challenge projects.

Initiative 05

Runs small experiments on decision-making — defaults, framing, and incentive design.

Initiative 06

Explores where economics meets science, technology, engineering, arts, and math in applied research.
