In Support of International Trade: Business Leaders Speak Out
Author/Creator: Elliot Schwartz
Publication date: 2009-10-07
| Complete listing and access info | Download
CED has been a consistent voice in support of U.S. leadership for an open global trade regime. This policy update reiterates a fundamental truth: An open and vibrant trading system is vital to the economic well being of all Americans. During this period of economic distress and heightened sensitivity to the effects of economic policy, it is especially important for the United States to reaffirm its commitment to free and open trade. Historically, business leadership has played a key role in helping the public and its elected representatives to recognize the importance of open trade to our collective prosperity.

Teacher Compensation and Teacher Quality
Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development
Publication date: 2009-10-01
| Complete listing and access info | Download
This CED report examines teacher pay and other compensation issues. Schools must be able to compete effectively for college-educated workers who have more career choices and see themselves as more mobile professionally than did earlier generations. Traditional compensation policies for teachers (salary schedules that reward only longevity and academic credentials, and pension policies that penalize mobile teachers and those who do not spend a lifetime career in teaching) are out of sync with the objective of expanding the pool of talented individuals who are willing to teach.

- How realistic is the budget "baseline" today?
- What is the outlook for the public debt?
Conclusions in brief: - The budget has worsened enormously in the past six months.
- Huge anomalies make the current budget projections necessarily unhelpful and potentially misleading.
- Most current budget presentations make the deficit and debt outlook appear far less troubling than it really is.

Rebuilding Corporate Leadership: How Directors Can Link Long-Term Performance with Public Goals
Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development Research and Policy Committee
Publication date: 2009-02-06
| Complete listing and access info | Download
This report examines how efforts to build public trust and long-term value have coalesced to encourage many large, global corporations to pay greater attention to their longer-term interests by striking a balance between short-term commercial pursuits and such societal concerns as the environment, labor standards, and human rights. Many companies have also found ways to turn such concerns as the effects of climate change and other environmental damage into profitable commercial opportunities. This report also explores how all corporate boards could take a more active part in considering such issues and improving the reporting of financial and non-financial measures of corporate performance broadly conceived. In our view, directors could do more with their current authority to motivate managements to greater innovation, and to support managements in finding long-term value solutions to the numerous economic and societal pressures they face.
