The OECD’s New Approaches to Economic Challenges (NAEC) initiative was established in 2012 with a view to “analysing the root causes of the global financial crisis and drawing lessons from it” and “updating the OECD’s economic analysis and policy recommendations where needed” [2012 OECD Ministerial Council Meeting Statement].
The initiative encourages an interdisciplinary approach to OECD economic and policy analysis, draws on new thinking from a range of disciplines, and supports the analytical work and policy advice that the Organisation provides to its Member and Partner countries.
