Created by the joint initiative of the Woodrow Wilson School, the Politics Department, and the Economics Department, the Research Program in Political Economy supports scholarship at the intersection of economics and political science. To facilitate greater interaction across departments at Princeton as well as with the broader disciplines, the program sponsors research workshops and colloquia, conferences, short-term visits to Princeton by scholars who work in political economy, and grants to students to aid their research in political economy. Director: Thomas Romer
The Program in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy is based in the Woodrow Wilson School, yet has strong ties to the Princeton Environmental Institute and the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies. In addition to providing a systematic introduction to the field of policy analysis, the goal of the STEP program is to develop a deeper understanding of current scientific, technological, and environmental issues and potential local, national and international policy responses. We provide inter-disciplinary training that facilitates communication between technical experts and policymakers. Director: Michael Oppenheimer
