The Postsecondary Education & Economics Research (PEER) Center is an initiative focused on promoting more equitable outcomes in higher education.

The Postsecondary Education and Economics Research (PEER) Center, housed at American University’s School of Public Affairs, generates actionable research to drive policy improvements in postsecondary access, affordability, experience, and outcomes. We conduct policy-relevant research, engage researchers to act on key research needs, and provide support directly to state and federal policymakers. The PEER Center is directed by Dr. Jordan Matsudaira, Professor in the School of Public Affairs at American University, and Dr. Stephanie Cellini, Professor of Public Policy and Economics at The George Washington University.
