The Conference on Research in Income and Wealth (CRIW) was founded in 1936
to advance the cause of measurement in economics. CRIW brings together
economists from government, academe, business, and non-profit
organizations to discuss problems of mutual interest. The CRIW is
administered by the National Bureau of Economic Research, but membership
in the CRIW is independent of NBER affiliation. Membership in the CRIW is
by election and is based on a significant contribution to research in
income and wealth, a sustained interest in research in this area, and
continuing participation in CRIW activities. The principal activity of the
CRIW is to hold conferences and workshops which deals with measurement
issues in various areas of economics. Attendance at CRIW conferences is
open to all interested participants.
The CRIW is supported by contributions from institutional members,
including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Bureau
of the Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
the Statistics of Income/Internal Revenue Service,
and Statistics Canada. The National Science Foundation also has provided
support for many individual conferences.
