About Us

Welcome to e21, a new nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to economic research and innovative public policies for the 21st century.

We aim to advance free enterprise, fiscal discipline, economic growth, and the rule of law.  Drawing on the expertise of practitioners, policymakers, and academics, we will encourage a spirited debate about the way forward for democratic capitalism.  And we will do so in a manner that is accessible and engaging, in a way that appeals to both experts and non-experts.

We are supportive of free markets while recognizing the need to devise and implement a reasonable structure of law and regulation that will help ensure our financial markets avoid a catastrophic event in the future.  We are therefore focused on developing policies that advance market performance and implementing rules to prevent market malfunction.

We will seek out the creative ideas of market participants and work to better integrate these practical perspectives into the policy process.  Their experience on the frontlines enables them to identify market trends that frequently go unobserved by others.  

The analysis at e21 will be deeply grounded in empirical evidence, not ideology.  We have a broad definition of “economic policy.”  We will cover macro and micro issues across a variety of policy areas, like tax, health care, energy, budget, trade, entitlements, housing, transportation, and financial markets - just to name a few.

To advance this mission, e21 will offer the following resources:

• Commentary Daily insights on complex issues in a brief and digestible format.
• Blog Informal views from leading economists, scholars and writers on what’s happening in the global economic landscape.
• Washington Update The latest and most important reports and key news stories driving economic policy debates.
• Market Talk The top articles and commentaries from individuals actively engaged in markets to help inform debates and keep policy grounded in real-world experience.
• In-Depth Research Policy proposals to address pressing economic concerns from thinkers across the political spectrum.
• Morning eBrief Each weekday morning, e21 delivers a short email that provides a snap shot of the day’s economic news. These eBriefs include e21 exclusive commentaries and the latest market news and updates from Washington.
• Briefings e21 is pleased to offer economic policy briefings to anyone upon request in either of our Washington, DC or New York City offices.
