The Public Economics (PE) programme brings together researchers interested in analysing the efficiency and distributional effects of all kinds of government interventions in the economy (including e.g. tax and transfer policies, social insurance and all forms of government spending programmes) as well as an understanding of the way that these programmes affect the behaviour of households and firms.
Key areas covered are:-
The PE Annual Symposium is a two-day conference typically held in May/June. The goal of the symposium is to provide a forum for high-quality work in public economics and to bring together economists in the field from across Europe, as well as key researchers from outside the region.
The fourth edition of CEPR's annual flagship symposium will again bring together leading voices in European and global economics to discuss the most pressing issues facing the global economy. Academic presentations as well as policy panels and keynote lectures will be organised across a 6-day programme with several parallel streams.
