EconoFact is a non-partisan publication designed to bring key facts and incisive analysis to the national debate on economic and social policies. Launched in January 2017, it is written by leading academic economists from across the U.S. who belong to the EconoFact Network. It is published by The Fletcher School at Tufts University. Our mission at EconoFact is to provide even-handed analyses of timely economic policy issues drawing on data, historical experience and well-regarded economic frameworks. The presentation is primarily in short memo form, and accessible to a wide audience, even when discussing complex economic and statistical analyses. We hope that EconoFact serves as a resource for policymakers, thought leaders and journalists, and indeed all interested Americans, so the debate on economic policies can be better based on reasoned arguments, statistical research, and historical experiences.
