About the Peterson Institute
The Peter G. Peterson Institute for International Economics is a
private, nonprofit, nonpartisan research institution devoted to the
study of international economic policy. Since 1981 the Institute has
provided timely and objective analysis of, and concrete solutions
to, a wide range of international economic problems. It is one of
the very few economics think tanks that are widely regarded as
"nonpartisan" by the press and "neutral" by the Congress, and it is
cited by the quality media more than any other such institution.
