State of the West

The State of the West symposium is a gathering at Stanford to take stock of the economic and fiscal health of the western region. It features academic researchers, business and investment practitioners, and other stakeholders concerned with the well-being of the millions of Americans who dwell on the sunset side of the Hundredth Meridian.

The State of the West Symposium is a joint program with the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR). Their mission statement:

We support research that informs economic policymaking while engaging future leaders and scholars. We share knowledge and build relationships among academics, government officials, the business community and the public.
