A Note from the President-Elect
报告美国国会未经听证和正当程序，否决了国家科学基金会31项经同行评审的资助项目，提醒经济学界关注这一事件。
A few months ago, Congress overruled the peer review process of the National Science Foundation. A congressional aide looked over the list of NSF grants, decided that 31 of them had titles unworthy of funding, and a conference committee voted on May 21 to cut off those grants. The cuts were made without hearings, without due process, and without public discussion. This note is to let the economics profession know what happened.
