Our Work

Overview

The Center for Economic and Policy Studies (CEPS), through its rigorous research, work with communities, and conversations with leaders and decision-makers, helps shape public policy. In addition to providing economic impact analysis and regional studies, CEPS launched the Energy Transition Initiative to help Virginia become carbon neutral by 2050 and is partnering with the Virginia Department of Education to produce workforce data for Virginia.
