CTP Occasional Papers

The Center's Occasional Paper series addresses topics that are timely and intimately connected to the Center's agenda. Papers in this series—some by Center members, others by researchers elsewhere—include conceptual work, research syntheses, discussions of policy issues, and reports of empirical studies undertaken under other auspices. We warmly encourage feedback on these documents to help us refine them in preparation for final reports of our research.
