About the cFEPS Archive

The Center for Full Employment and Price Stability was a non-partisan, non-profit policy institute at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, MO dedicated to promoting research and public discussion of issues related to macroeconomic and monetary policy, especially employment and budgetary policy. In an effort to incorporate research into policy, the Center sponsored interdisciplinary research, organized symposia, conferences, and lectures, and participated in community programs. Pavlina R. Tcherneva (Director, EDI), served as associate director of CFEPS from 1999 - 2005.
