　　建立于1920年，国家经济研究局是一个私人的、非盈利、无党派分歧的研究机构，专注于更好的理解经济运行状态。NBER决心致力于在经济政策制定者、商业专家和科研院所之间传播无偏的经济研究。
　　Over the years the Bureau's research agenda has encompassed a wide variety of issues that confront our society. The Bureau's early research focused on the aggregate economy, examining in detail the business cycle and long-term economic growth. Simon Kuznets' pioneering work on national income accounting, Wesley Mitchell's influential study of the business cycle, and Milton Friedman's research on the demand for money and the determinants of consumer spending were among the early studies done at the NBER.
