New website on European economic policy launched

The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) today launches Vox (VoxEU.org), a new policy portal featuring research-based analysis and commentary from Europe's leading economists. The primary audience is economists and users of economic research in governments, international organisations, academia and the private sector, as well as journalists and commentators specialising in economics, finance and business. Vox will enrich the economic policy debate in Europe and beyond. On the supply side, Vox will make it easier for serious researchers to contribute. On the demand side, Vox will make the knowledge of researchers more accessible to the informed public. Editor-in-Chief Professor Richard Baldwin explains the motivation: 'Vox aims to be the focal point for European discussion and analysis of policy-relevant economics. Vox will raise the level of the debate on economic policy by making it easier for serious researchers to contribute. Vox columns may be up to twice the length of most newspaper columns and will be written for readers with some training in economics, so authors can use the language of standard economic analysis. Both elements lower the cost to good researchers of contributing to the policy debate.' Source: Centre for Economic Policy Research
