United Programs for Political Economy Research

The United Programs for Political Economy Research network (UPPER) promotes multi-disciplinary research in political economy through collaboration between centers in different academic institutions. Our goal is to facilitate the exchange and dissemination of ideas, and to help prepare the next generation of researchers in the field of political economy. 

UPPER is a joint initiative of the DC Political Economy Center (DCPEC) at Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins University, the Research Program in Political Economy at Princeton University, and the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University.
