== Criticism and Controversies ==
While NBER is highly regarded for its research, it has faced occasional criticism from some policymakers and economists. Some critics argue that NBER’s focus on macroeconomic analysis and business cycles may overlook important microeconomic issues or the effects of economic policies on vulnerable populations. Others have expressed concern over the influence of corporate funding on the organization’s research agenda.

Despite these criticisms, NBER maintains a commitment to evidence-based, rigorous economic analysis and continues to play a central role in shaping economic policy in the U.S. and around the world.
