The Political Economy Research Institute is an institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst which, according to its mission statement, "...promotes human and ecological well-being through our original research. PERI was established in 1998 by Robert Pollin and Gerald Epstein as an independent research unit inside the University. The money for its foundation came from the personal wealth of one of its co-directors, Robert Pollin, and his father, Abe Pollin. Co-director Pollin's personal wealth remains the main source of financing for PERI's operations nowadays.
