Our People

Established in 1938, NIESR remains the UK’s leading macroeconomic, social research and forecasting institute. The vision of our founders was to understand the economic and social forces that affect people’s lives and seek ways in which policy can bring about change. This remains our mission today. We truly are the independent voice of economic and social research.
