"CEPR has firmly established itself as the premier centre of policy-oriented research in Europe, perhaps even the world. It has helped create a younger generation of European scholars who happily combine academic excellence and rigour with policy relevance. CEPR is sometimes described as the European NBER. That is an accurate description of its academic entrepreneurship and ability to centralize research interactions, but because CEPR researchers are legally free to discuss policy issues, it has in some ways gone beyond the example of its older cousin." Stanley Fischer, MIT (former vice chairman, Federal Reserve, and former Governor, Bank of Israel)

"I used to complain that Europe had no institution to do what the National Bureau and Brookings do in North America: provide a channel for the best academic economists to talk seriously about economic policy, to financial people, business executives, civil servants and, not least, to each other. CEPR has filed that gap beautifully. It may even have improved policy itself, not only by enlarging the catch-basin of ideas and research results, but by providing a place for civil servants to be in touch with more of the profession than just each other. Beyond doubt CEPR has recruited excellent economists out of the ivory tower. Its work is now indispensable on both sides of the Atlantic.“ Robert M Solow, MIT OUR VISION: PROMOTING RESEARCH EXCELLENCE WITH POLICY RELEVANCE
