The New England Public Policy Center's mission is to promote better public policy in New England by conducting and disseminating objective, high-quality research and analysis of strategically identified regional economic and policy issues and, when appropriate, to work with regional and Bank partners to advance identified policy options.
The Center’s research investigates policy issues that are important to New England's economy. Our research focuses in two primary areas: New England demographic and labor markets trends and state and local public finance.
