Mission and programs · 2022

• APPEAL received grants from the Economic Security Project, a US public charity, to support two research projects on anti-monopoly and regulation. Grants supported research and writing time and expenses for participating scholars.

  Expenses $48,500

• In the summer of 2022, APPEAL held its collaborative summer academy for international graduate students at the University of Rome, in collaboration with several international organizations. At that event, teams of students worked through case studies of policy problems in small groups with scholars and policy leaders to find creative solutions to the many economic and political challenges facing communities and governments in the current global context. The event included a number of students from African countries whose perspectives were especially valuable contributions to the discussion.

  Expenses $1,134

• We held a two-day intensive hybrid in-person and online workshop with a group of 13 scholars in economics and law, Exploring the Law and Political Economy Difference. This workshop featured presentations of new scholarship on a range of topics to consider the particular contributions and meanings of law and political economy as a framework to analyze contemporary issues.

  Expenses $804

• We also collaborated with other groups to support a law and political economy series of panels with over 120 presentations from scholars around the world at the annual meeting of the Law and Society Association, held in Lisbon, Portugal.

  Expenses $500

• In 2022, APPEAL continued several series of online discussion groups, with participation from scholars, students, and policy professionals across the U.S. and including some from Europe and Africa. The series on Corporate Law and Climate Change led to a plan to develop a symposium issue of a scholarly journal. The series Measuring and Managing Inflation brought together scholars and graduate students doing research and policy work on that current topic. The reading group, What is Capitalism?, continues to bring together economists, lawyers and others to discuss scholarly works in progress and to discuss a wide-range of interdisciplinary topics.

• We continued to hold office hour mentoring sessions to share career and research advice with aspiring scholars.
