The annual meeting of the CEPR Research and Policy Network (RPN) on Populism took place place on 7-8 June 2020, hosted by the Department of Economics at Stockholm University.

The goal of the conference was to provide a forum for high-quality research on populism and to bring together scholars of populism from across Europe as well as from outside the region (from both inside and outside the RPN). Both theoretical and empirical paper proposals were welcome.

This year, the meeting of the RPN was organised jointly with the 2020 CEPR Public Economics Annual Symposium 2020 which was held on June 8-9. The symposium's keynote speakers were Emmanuel Saez (UC Berkeley), Alberto Alesina (Harvard University and CEPR) and Stefanie Stantcheva (Harvard University and CEPR). The symposium included a special morning session on June 8 dedicated to Political Economy & Public Finance to celebrate the launch of POLECON, the political economy network within the CEPR Public Economics programme.
