DIW DC is also an active member of the German American Business Council and maintains good contacts with the German community in the DC area and Philadelphia.

Through these connections, DIW DC bridges the gap between academic research and public policy. Seeking to enrich understanding of public policy issues through work with international scholars, government leaders, the general public and the private sector, DIW DC is committed to promoting research in economics with integrity and to disseminating knowledge to the public.

DIW DC enjoys a special relationship with DIW Berlin, the largest German think tank in economics, and IZA Bonn, the international network of labor economics. Building on the internationally renown reputation of IZA and the more than eighty years of DIW Berlin's commitment to research, teaching, and policy advice, DIW DC brings a new level of awareness and resources to the scientific community, the political arena and the wider public.
