[Macroeconomic Stabilization Policy] Grant investigator: Alexander Berger This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. The Urban Institute staff also reviewed this page prior to publication. Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $50,000 to the Urban Institute to support a report on implementing countercyclical state funding mechanisms as a means to support states and localities in managing the effects of economic shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic and recession. This falls within our focus area of macroeconomic stabilization policy.
