Mission and History
The Benjamin H. Griswold III, Class of 1933, Center for Economic Policy Studies at Princeton University, formerly known as the Center for Economic Policy Studies (CEPS), was founded by Alan S. Blinder in 1989, to support policy-related research in the Department of Economics, and to foster communication among members of the academic, business, and government communities. Supported by individual and corporate memberships, the Griswold Center for Economic Policy Studies sponsors faculty research as well as a number of highly successful programs each academic year.
In 2011, Benjamin H. Griswold IV, a member of Princeton's Class of 1962, and his family made a substantial gift to endow the Center. The gift was made in honor of Griswold's father, a member of Princeton's Class of 1933 [press release].
