The 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, objective analysis and concrete solutions to key international economic problems. Its audience includes government officials and legislators, business and labor leaders, management and staff at international organizations, university-based scholars and their students, other research institutions and nongovernmental organizations, the media and the public at large. Its agenda emphasizes global macroeconomic topics, international money and finance, trade and related social issues, investment and the international implications of new technologies. The Institute moved into its own award-winning building, which includes full conference and videoconferencing facilities in Washington, D.C., in 2001.
