CEPR, established in 1983, is an independent, non‐partisan, pan‐European non‐profit organization. Its mission is to enhance the quality of policy decisions through providing policy‐relevant research, based soundly in economic theory, to policymakers, the private sector and civil society.

This is the sort of reasoning that economists can bring to the table ... and thus support a well-designed military
build-up in Europe."
