Are We Measuring What Matters? New Metrics for a New Economy

In 2023, the Academy released the CORE Score, a data tool that measured how Americans are doing, an alternative to traditional metrics which focus on how the economy is doing. A product of the Academy’s Commission on Reimagining Our Economy, the Score has been used by scholars around the country, and its findings have been shared with the White House, the Federal Reserve, and many others.

The Academy is proud that, next month, the Score will find a permanent home at Yale University’s Institution for Social and Policy Studies, under the direction of Academy member Jacob Hacker.

Please join Professor Hacker and fellow Academy members to discuss the Score and its insights into the state of the American economy and American democracy.

After registering for the event, you will receive a brief, custom report on the CORE Score for your county. The meeting will consist of a short presentation of the Score, followed by open discussion.
