Baker Institute Director David Satterfield delivers remarks at the Fall Roundtable Reception

As 2024 comes to a close, I am confident in the Baker Institute’s ongoing mission to provide trusted, evidence-based policy analysis on the most pressing challenges facing the United States, Texas, and the world. In this year’s Annual Report, we reflect on our achievements in 2024 and reaffirm our commitment to advancing data-driven policy solutions as we move into 2025 and beyond. 

We conduct our work at a time of significant change, both domestically and internationally.

Throughout 2024, the Baker Institute produced a robust body of independent, fact-based research. Our “Election 2024: Policy Playbook” brought together over 40 experts to examine key issues — ranging from economic and energy policy to health care, sustainability, and national security. Additionally, we hosted more than 100 public events, convening global leaders from academia, industry, and government to engage in meaningful discussions. We are proud to serve as a trusted, nonpartisan source of information and a catalyst for productive dialogue.

Looking ahead, we remain steadfast in our commitment to moving beyond sound bites and delivering rigorous, high-quality research. We will continue to empower policymakers to make informed decisions. The policies we shape today will impact the world for generations to come.

Thank you for your continued support of the Baker Institute. 

Sincerely,

The Honorable David M. Satterfield
Director, Baker Institute for Public Policy

Following a first-of-its-kind global workshop on research security, the Baker Institute published a road map for the National Science Foundation’s new Research on Research Security (RoRS) program, which seeks to safeguard U.S. science and technology by identifying potential security risks and developing strategies to minimize their impacts. Our experts also hosted a pivotal convening between members of the FBI and the academic and Asian American communities to discuss the effects of the China Initiative, a strategy to counter Chinese espionage and threats to U.S. research security. 

We continued to lead in the emerging field of neuro-policy, which leverages gains in neuroscience for economic prosperity and resilience, and established a Neuro-Policy Program. With Rice University’s Office of Innovation, Harry Z. Yan and Weiman Gao Senior Fellow in Brain Health Harris Eyre led the inaugural Brain Days of the 79th United Nations General Assembly Science Summit to discuss the global “brain economy” transformation. We also convened national leaders, including Rep. Morgan Luttrell (TX-8), John Ngai of the National Institutes of Health, and Col. Geoffrey Ling of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, to explore the field’s wide-ranging implications for economic security and defense.

2. The Future of US-China Competition

China’s bid for superpower status engenders challenges for U.S. policymakers that span energy, trade, defense, and soft power diplomacy.

Baker Botts Fellow in Energy and Environmental Regulatory Affairs Gabriel Collins delivered critical guidance on China’s advances in the Indo-Pacific, including an extensive report on the consequences that would stem from an attempted annexation of Taiwan and a testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission on China’s energy stockpiling.

The Center for Energy Studies also published the 2024 edition of the China Energy Map, an open-source resource that provides critical data on China’s energy infrastructure, as well as a comprehensive report by fellow Michelle Michot Foss on challenges for minerals and materials supply chains, including China’s role as a dominant supplier and manufacturer.

On the trade front, Will Clayton Fellow in Trade and International Economics David A. Gantz offered recommendations for addressing China’s growing electric vehicle market. We also hosted a conversation with Dan Blumenthal, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, on China’s current period of economic deceleration and its implications for U.S.-China competition.

C.V. Starr Transnational China Fellow Steven W. Lewis and research analyst Brandon Zheng examined advances in Chinese soft power through modern cultural and technological avenues, publishing a research paper assessing China’s growing influence through the animation industry.

3. A Changing Landscape in the Middle East

Ana Martín Gil in discussion with event attendee

As the Israel-Hamas war entered its second year, our experts offered their insights into the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and prospects for deescalation in the region. Women’s Rights, Human Rights, and Refugees Program Director Kelsey Norman co-authored an article in The Conversation on the new era of regional displacement ushered in by the conflict, while contributing expert Robert Barron published a brief laying out key takeaways from the first phase of the Gaza war.

Following a workshop by the Middle East Energy Roundtable, Baker Institute scholars produced a brief exploring developments in the Houthi militant group’s ongoing attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea, which have been motivated by the war in Gaza and caused major supply chain disruptions. Other Roundtable seminars and the resulting reports focused on collaboration between China and the Gulf, Qatar’s expansion of its liquefied natural gas export capacity, and lessons from the 1973 Arab oil embargo 50 years on.

The Women’s Rights, Human Rights, and Refugees Program published a policy brief collection on climate displacement, the third collection in its Human Rights in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Series. The briefs were produced in partnership with the Lebanese American University’s Institute for Migration Studies and explored various avenues and levels of protection for climate refugees and internally displaced people.

Following the sudden death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, fellow Mohammad Ayatollahi Tabaar penned wide-reaching analyses in Foreign Affairs examining Raisi’s legacy and Masoud Pezeshkian’s subsequent win in the country’s snap presidential election.

4. Delivering Insights Into Energy Markets

Panelists onstage at Baker Institute Energy Summit

The Center for Energy Studies continued to be one of the world’s most trusted voices on developments in energy at all levels.

Our eighth annual Energy Summit with Baker Botts featured a range of domestic and international perspectives on energy value chains, with conversations exploring low-carbon pathways and the legal landscape of sustainability among other topics. We also published the inaugural edition of Energy Insights, an annual flagship publication designed to illuminate paths forward for policymakers and industry leaders, and established a new Sustainability Initiative led by fellow Rachel A. Meidl. In addition, the center launched a new podcast to explore key topics in energy and sustainability called “The Energy Forum.”

In a report on electric reliability and resource adequacy in Texas, Center for Energy Studies Senior Director Ken Medlock, Rice faculty scholar Peter R. Hartley, and research manager Shih Yu (Elsie) Hung provided their insights on the challenges facing the state’s grid. Medlock later delivered invited testimony on the electric grid before the Texas Senate Committee on Business and Commerce. Baker Botts Fellow in Energy and Environmental Regulatory Affairs Gabriel Collins also shared insights on Texas’ energy landscape through testimony on the need to protect the state’s exports of liquefied natural gas.

In an exceptional recognition of the Baker Institute’s leading role in the global energy sector, the departments of State and Energy asked that the Institute convene meetings at the ministerial level with Iraqi officials and U.S. public and private sector representatives to advance Iraqi hydrocarbon modernization and commercial opportunities. The Baker Institute also hosted a meeting between U.S. officials and private sector representatives to mobilize support on an urgent basis for Ukraine’s power generation needs.

5. A Dynamic Election Year

Our experts were a leading resource for voters, policymakers, and media in a fast-paced election year, delivering insights into national, state, and local races and offering carefully developed, nonpartisan recommendations for fair and secure elections.

The Presidential Elections Program collaborated with The Carter Center to release a set of 10 guiding principles for election administration, offering a bipartisan way forward to strengthen elections across the country and equip stakeholders with guidelines for improving trust in our democratic systems. Fellows Mark P. Jones and John B. Williams explored these principles along with declining trust in the electoral process and increasing threats to election officials at a conference held jointly with The Center Center in Atlanta.

Kicking off our “Election 2024: Policy Playbook” initiative, the Baker Institute hosted an event with journalists Peter Baker and Susan B. Glasser to discuss the campaigns of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and to reflect on the legacy of former Secretary James A. Baker, III, as a presidential campaign manager. Other events in the weeks leading up to and following the election featured former Vice President Dan Quayle and political reporters from major Texas cities to discuss the Senate race between Sen. Ted Cruz and his challenger, Rep. Colin Allred.

Capping off the election season, the Presidential Elections Program also hosted a conference with former Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, CBS News Washington Correspondent Major Garrett, and other speakers from both sides of the aisle to explore the new methods of voter engagement and technological advances in outreach strategies that helped shape electoral outcomes in 2024.

6. Navigating Fiscal Headwinds

John Diamond onstage during armchair discussion at Baker Hall

From inflation to the federal budget deficit, our experts tackled trending topics in finance and the major fiscal challenges facing local, state, and the federal governments.

In a January report, fellow Joyce Beebe explored the child care cliff in the wake of COVID-era assistance fund expirations and reviewed four popular policy proposals for bolstering America’s child care system. Beebe also published a policy brief weighing no-tax-on-tips proposals and exploring alternative approaches ahead of the election. Center for Public Finance Director and Edward A. and Hermena Hancock Kelly Senior Fellow in Public Finance John W. Diamond further explored the pressures posed by the affordability crisis and growing fiscal gap on voters and policymakers on the Baker Briefing podcast with Baker Institute Director David M. Satterfield.

Our experts also examined the future of the shrinking U.S. labor force and the potential role immigrants could play in addressing gaps. Center for the U.S. and Mexico Director and Françoise and Edward Djerejian Fellow for Mexico Studies Tony Payan and research scholar José Iván Rodríguez Sánchez authored reports exploring policy reforms to reduce health care labor shortages and boost the U.S. construction workforce, and in May the Center for the U.S. and Mexico hosted a panel discussion focused on pathways for leveraging the economic potential of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. and Houston.

In a comprehensive report, the Center for Public Finance assessed strains on local city governments across Texas, detailing the financial positions of Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, and Dallas. Diamond, Beebe, and fellow Bill King further examined Houston’s finances in a November brief on the city’s controversial tax increment reinvestment zones (TIRZs), whose findings Diamond later presented before the city’s Committee on Budget and Fiscal Affairs.

Other financial insights into the Bayou City were delivered through a wide-ranging armchair discussion between Houston Mayor John Whitmire and fellow Ed Emmett in April and a report on the impact of urban revitalization on small businesses in the Third Ward by research scholar Alisha Small and former research scholar Lebena Varghese. 

7. US-Mexico Ties

Audience at Mexico Country Outlook 2025 conference

As Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador prepared to leave office in 2024, leaving behind an indelible legacy to be furthered by his successor, Claudia Sheinbaum, Baker Institute experts provided strategic insights into the challenges ahead for Mexico and U.S.-Mexico relations, including through the Center for the U.S. and Mexico’s “Judy Ley Allen México Centered” podcast. The center also hosted a panel discussion with Rep. Tony Gonzales (TX-23) to explore the country’s path forward following Sheinbaum’s historic victory in June.

In a conference hosted by the institute’s Migration Initiative and co-presented by the Houston Chronicle, Baker Institute experts examined the future of immigration in the U.S. general election. Our scholars also evaluated current approaches to the policy and humanitarian crisis at the southern border, with nonresident scholars Stephen A. Mumme and Regina Buono reviewing challenges to the binational water treaty posed by Texas security efforts in an extensive research paper. Research manager Ana Martín Gil also put forth a report on migrant reception infrastructure at the San Diego-Tijuana border, highlighting challenges for migrants, government, and aid organizations.

In addition, our scholars analyzed the implications of Mexico’s historic nearshoring opportunity. Will Clayton Fellow in Trade and International Economics David A. Gantz reviewed developments in offshoring and nearshoring to Mexico since 1965 in a March report, while Center for the U.S. and Mexico Director and Françoise and Edward Djerejian Fellow for Mexico Studies Tony Payan and research scholar Rodrigo Montes de Oca laid out the challenges that Mexico’s energy infrastructure poses for nearshoring efforts in a report produced through a workshop with the Tecnológico de Monterrey. Research scholar Ivonne Cruz further examined the environmental impacts of nearshoring development in a report published in September.

In December, the Center for the U.S. and Mexico released its “Mexico Country Outlook” report for 2025 following its annual conference with influential leaders and top thinkers from industry, government, and academia to unpack the major policy issues facing Mexico and U.S.-Mexico relations in the coming year.

8. Transforming Discourses in US Health Care

From the impacts of the built environment on child health to resilience through drug policy, the Baker Institute delivered insights across a broad range of critical issues in community and public health in 2024.

In advance of the 2025 Texas legislative session, the institute hosted its annual Preventing Firearm Injury Through Purpose and Policy conference, led by Huffington Fellow in Child Health Policy Dr. Sandra McKay, to generate recommendations for reducing gun violence. Fellow Kirstin R.W. Matthews, nonresident scholar Rekha Lakshmanan, Rice faculty scholar Daniel S. Wagner, and Religion and Public Policy Program Director and Harry and Hazel Chavanne Fellow in Religion and Public Policy Michael O. Emerson also discussed how to decouple vaccines from politics and the challenges and opportunities ahead for vaccine policy at the 2024 Texas Vaccine Policy Symposium.

The Drug Policy Program submitted recommendations to the Texas Senate State Affairs Committee hearing on the regulation of delta-8 products in May. In August, Alfred C. Glassell, III, Fellow in Drug Policy Katharine Neill Harris, nonresident fellow Lisa Pittman, and policy assistant Victoria Jupp also issued a report weighing Texas’ proposed ban on hemp products alongside an interactive map illustrating their legal status across the country.

Honing in on the effects of Texas’ infrastructure on children’s health, Child Health Policy Program researchers Dr. Zoabe Hafeez and Katarina Reyes contributed to a series of widely shared briefs that mapped child transportation injury hot spots in Houston, offered insights and future direction for improving transportation safety, and assessed who in the region is disproportionately affected. In addition, McKay, Reyes, and scholar Christopher F. Kulesza examined obesity, kindergarten readiness, and mental health challenges among Houston’s Latino children in a March report co-published with Children at Risk with support from Precinct 2 in Harris County, Texas.

Focusing on health care costs, James A. Baker III Institute Chair in Health Economics Vivian Ho, postdoctoral scholar Derek Jenkins, and research associate Sasathorn Tapaneeyakul found that hospital price increases since 2000 outpaced inflation by more than double in 2022 and emphasized the need for affordable health care reform in a September report. Through the Texas Consortium for the Non-Medical Drivers of Health (NMDOH), senior health policy fellow Elena M. Marks and consortium director Charles W. Matthias also released a detailed report highlighting opportunities to improve health outcomes and enhance the value of the state’s spending by integrating non-medical services into health care delivery. In December, the consortium hosted its annual conference exploring the latest developments in NMDOH interventions. 

9. Unpacking the Influence of Christian Nationalism in Public Policy

Baker Institute intern and Michael Emerson in discussion at Christian nationalism conference

As Christian nationalism continued its rise in American religious and political life, Baker Institute experts were at the forefront of informed analysis and debate.

In April, the Religion and Public Policy Program convened leading voices from theology, academia, and policy at a conference that explored the origins of Christian nationalism — which seeks to privilege conservative Christianity in education, law, and public policy — its threat to American democracy and our foundational separation of church and state, and the implications for the future of American Christianity. Experts also examined the intersection of Christian nationalism and racial identity, including insights from “The Religion of Whiteness: How Racism Distorts Christian Faith” (Oxford University Press), a book co-authored by Michael O. Emerson, the Harry and Hazel Chavanne Fellow in Religion and Public Policy and director of the Religion and Public Policy Program, in 2024. Emerson also delved into this topic and the role of faith on a September episode of the “Baker Briefing” podcast.

Nonresident fellow David R. Brockman published an in-depth research paper analyzing three high-profile education bills introduced during the 2023 Texas legislative session and their implications for church-state separation in public schools. Brockman also joined Emerson to discuss the evolution of the Christian nationalist movement in Texas and across the country at a live episode of the “Baker Briefing” podcast in October.

10. Election 2024: Policy Playbook

Policy Playbook branding featuring Rice and Baker Institute logos

In September, Rice University and the Baker Institute unveiled “Election 2024: Policy Playbook,” a collection of policy briefs to inform policymaking in the U.S. and Texas before and after the 2024 election. 

The effort totaled 39 briefs from 44 contributors across the Rice community, presenting a key resource for voters, policymakers, and media in advance of the 2025 U.S. congressional and Texas legislative sessions. Experts across campus contributed recommendations on the U.S. economy and labor force; the risks and opportunities presented by advances in science, technology, and innovation; energy and sustainability; community infrastructure and resilience; health care and education; governance and election integrity; U.S.-Mexico policy, including border security and immigration; and security and diplomacy.
