| Summary | The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) is Britain's oldest independent economic research institute that carries out academic research of relevance to business and policy makers, both nationally and internationally. NIESR's objective is to promote, through quantitative research, a deeper understanding of the interaction of economic and social forces that affect people's lives so that they may be improved. NIESR is independent of all political interests. It receives no core funding from the government and is not affiliated with any single university, although its staff regularly undertake projects in collaboration with leading academic institutions. Its research interests are constantly changing in response to new needs but embrace most of the issues that shape economic performance. |
