America's Basic Research: Prosperity Through Discovery
Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development Research and Policy Committee
Publication date: 1998-07-10
| Complete listing and access info | Download
This report focuses on basic research -- the experimental or theoretical work intended to advance science and engineering knowledge rather than develop a specific product or process. CED recommends policy reforms to ensure that tomorrow's basic research can be as productive and effective as possible. The recommendations address Congress' procedures for allocating funds for basic research, the central role of the research university and the individual scientific investigator, the critical importance of peer review, the need to sustain the pipeline of high-quality scientists and engineers for the long-term, and the implications of an increasingly global research enterprise.

CED's report, Breaking the Litigation Habit calls our litigation system "too intrusive, too slow, and too expensive."

Building on Reform: A Business Proposal to Strengthen Campaign Finance
Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development Research and Policy Committee
Publication date: 2005-04-15
| Complete listing and access info | Download
In this report that follows the 1999 report Investing in the People's Business, CED makes three categories of recommendations: FEC reform, strengthening the soft-money ban by closing the so-called '527 committee" loophole, and strengthening the presidential public funding system in both the primary and general election. These reforms are vital if we are to fashion a campaign finance system that protects free speech, encourages debate, and elects candidates based on ideas, not dollars.
The subcommittee that oversaw this project was co-chaired by Edward A. Kangas, Chairman, Global Board of Directors, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and George Rupp, President, Columbia University. Professor Anthony Corrado of Colby College served as project director.

The Case for Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China
Author/Creator: Committee for Economic Development
Publication date: 2000-04-04
| Complete listing and access info | Download
This program statement was developed to influence the important debate on U.S.-China economic relations. The statement presents a clear and simple case for Congressional approval of the PNTR legislation, which would benefit U.S. exporters and help foster long-term political and social change in China. It argues that China's entry into the WTO will require policy changes within China that will support the country's economic and social advancement, including its attitudes towards human rights, political liberalization, and environmental protection. A failure to undertake permanent normal trade relations, however, would impose economic costs on the United States, as other WTO members displace U.S. investment and trade in China. The statement was approved by CED's Program Committee Complete listing and access info » |
