“ CEPR has become a synonym for the kind of economics we need.”

Mario Draghi, President, European Central Bank

institutional membershipCEPR welcomes non-profit organisations, trade and professional bodies, chambers of commerce and diplomatic missions to its institutional programme. a special package enables institutional members to keep abreast of current research and policy developments in Europe and elsewhere, at an affordable price.

Today’s economics and finance journals are publishing work based on drafts that first appeared two to four years previously – even working paper series are typically six months to a year behind the frontier. These publication lags mean that following the published academic literature is no longer sufficient. CEPR Membership is an excellent way of staying on top of the latest developments in techniques, thinking and results.

CEPR holds around 75 conferences, workshops and discussion meetings a year and publishes over 500 Discussion Papers, Policy insights, and eBooks. Since 2007, CEPR’s research outreach has been amplified by VoxEU.org – the CEPR Policy Portal.

Membership can enhance your organization’s profile as an active participant in economics and research. Members are acknowledged on our website and in our annual Report, and it is also possible to build your profile through conference sponsorship.

“ The premier centre of policy-oriented research in Europe, perhaps even in the world.”

Vice-Chairman of the US Federal Reserve System and former governor of the Bank of israel
