THE CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC POLICY RESEARCH 

CEPR's mission is to promote world-class economic research and deliver the policy-relevant results to decision-makers: Research Excellence with Policy Relevance. It provides common services for its network of researchers and for users of its research, and obtains funding for the activities it develops, executing projects once funding is obtained, and reporting to donors on activities undertaken.
