CEPR Publications: An Overview

Our research results appear first in the CEPR Discussion Paper series. Discussion Papers are circulated widely to other specialists in the research and policy community so that the results of the research receive prompt and thorough professional scrutiny. The Centre produces about 500 Discussion Papers each year. Key research results are also reported in the quarterly CEPR Bulletin, which circulates to members of the academic and policy communities. 

In 1999 CEPR also launched a Policy Paper series to provide a forum for the analysis of important policy issues. The series aims to identify key policy issues; apply the best and most up-to-date research to help understand these issues; and to explore the implications of this research for the design and conduct of policy. The Policy Paper series replaces the Occasional Papers previously published by the Centre.

Once the research nears completion, the Centre also disseminates the key results of the research to a wide audience in the private sector and the policy community. Highlights of the Centre’s research are disseminated through public discussion meetings and the Centre’s bi-monthly newsletter, European Economic Perspectives, which is distributed to individuals in the private sector and the policy community.

CEPR produces a wide selection of Reports and Books under its own imprint. The collection includes four series' of topical, policy relevant reports – Monitoring European Integration, Monitoring European Deregulation (in collaboration with SNS), Monitoring the European Central Bank and Geneva Reports on the World Economy (jointly with ICMB). CEPR also has a selection of Conference Volumes published by prestigious academic presses. These volumes contain revised versions of papers presented at CEPR conferences and aim to bring together a coherent body of research on a particular topic. They cannot be ordered directly through the Centre but full details can be found here.
