Current Research
U.S. Economic Competitiveness Policies and Strategies. Reamer examines the current state of federal government efforts to promote economic competitiveness. Current efforts include:
- an inventory of congressional findings and priorities, as reflected in the U.S. Code, regarding competitiveness, innovation, and entrepreneurship;
- an inventory of federal programs that currently support competitiveness, innovation, and entrepreneurship;
- an inventory of the current efforts of other nations to strategically promote competitiveness, innovation, and entrepreneurship; and
- a review of federal efforts from 1789 to the present to promote national competitiveness, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Capacity to Measure U.S. Trade in Value-Added and Map Global Value Chains. Reamer is exploring ways that the federal government might work with international bodies, such as the World Trade Organization and OECD, to create global trade accounting frameworks that measure the value added by each nation. In this way, the U.S. government and firms would be able to more clearly see the place of the U.S. in global value chains, its competitive strengths and weaknesses, and the implications for public policy.
Improvements in Federal Workforce and Education Statistical Programs. Reamer is working to improve the availability and reliability of federal workforce and education statistics needed by students, workers, educators, employers, and policymakers to make informed decisions about, respectively, careers, education and training programs, business location, and public investments.
Uses of the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. Reamer is compilling a reference document on the uses of the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) in the construction of other federal statistical measures, such as population estimates, per capita income, and housing price indices.
