== Policy research == |
|
|
CED conducts policy research in the following issue areas: fiscal health, education (including early childhood, K-12, and postsecondary), health care, trade/economic globalization, smart regulation, women in corporate leadership, infrastructure, technology & innovation, workforce and sustaining democratic institutions. CED aims to encourage American business leaders to take a more expansive view of their responsibilities by practicing what it calls "business statesmanship" — recognizing that business leaders can promote societal health by engaging in and speaking out for the common good on timely public policy issues.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}} |

Since its inception, CED has aimed to promote policies that its trustees believe will foster economic growth and development to benefit all Americans. The organization conducts research and outreach efforts in the U.S. and abroad to change policy at the local, state, and national levels. In recent decades, CED has increased access to pre-kindergarten and college, advocated campaign finance reform nationally, placed more women in corporate leadership, and reduced government spending.
