Mission

The Centre's mission is to promote research excellence and policy relevance in European economics.[5] The CEPR network consists of over 1300 Research Fellows and Affiliates[6] based in over 330 different institutions in 30 countries (50% in the European Union).

Funding

The Centre is financially supported by a large number of central banks, private financial institutions, and international organisations.[7] These institutional sponsors receive special benefits by obtaining different levels of membership.[8] The Centre's annual return in 2013 stated that it had an income for the financial year 2012-2013 of £3,179,298 and an expenditure of £3,345,054.[9]

Discussion papers

The Centre disseminates its research in the first instance through the CEPR Discussion Paper Series, in which it publishes 870 papers annually. As of November 2018, the CEPR series is ranked fifth among all economics working paper series and journals in terms of total downloads, according to the RePEc database.[10]

VoxEU.org

VoxEU.org is a web publication set up by CEPR to promote "research-based policy analysis and commentary by leading economists".

It was set up in June 2007 in conjunction with a consortium of other European sites, including the Italian site LaVoce[11] (which provided inspiration for the idea and help from the start), the French site Telos,[12] the Spanish site Sociedad Abierta, and the German Ökonomenstimme.[13] VoxEU's stated aim is to "enrich the economic policy debate in Europe and beyond."

VoxEU promotes research-based policy analysis and commentary by "leading economists." The intended audience includes economists in governments, international organisations, academia, and the private sector, as well as journalists specializing in economics, finance, and business.

The main editors are European economists and economic journalists, including: Richard Baldwin, Carol Propper, Tito Boeri, Juanjo Dolado, Romesh Vaitilingam, and Charles Wyplosz.

According to its own statement VoxEU receives about a half million page views per month.[14]

Clive Crook in his blog discusses favorably Vox's contribution to policy debates.[15]

COVID Economics

COVID Economics, Vetted and Real-Time Papers is an economics publication established in late March 2020 and published by the CEPR. It serves as an online-only forum for the rapid dissemination of research on COVID-19. Articles are published as preprints after being vetted by the publication's editors.[16]

Events

CEPR organises a number of events throughout the year. These can range from open conferences to which anyone can attend, to CEPR members-only meetings.[17]

gollark: But I skimmed a paper on it and apparently the randomization can be workarounded in some cases by sending RTS frames with the device's "hardcoded" MAC address and seeing if you get a CTS frame back.
gollark: This would have been doable by just checking the MAC address against a list several years ago, but evil beeoids also did this so now phones and such have randomization.
gollark: Well, for convoluted reasons, I want to detect known devices within wireless range.
gollark: Request to send.
gollark: μhahahahaha, RTS frame injection *has* occurred. NONE will be safe from Project ANTARCTIC OBSCURITY.
