Books for course adoption 
Upjohn Institute monographs offer readers a rigorous exploration of policy-relevant issues. Each offers 1) a clear description of the issues, data, and research techniques used in the study, 2) a thorough overview of the related literature, and 3) new results that advance our understanding of the topic.

We also publish highly-readable edited volumes that are accessible for undergraduates. These include contributions by some of social science's most esteemed researchers on topics that include sports economics, the Great Depression, welfare reform, transition economies, income redistribution, and the underground economy.

In addition, all titles are available as affordably-priced paperbacks. Visit our Examination copies page to learn how to request exam or desk copies.
