Center for Economic Studies
The Center for Economic Studies (CES) is an independent institute at the Economics Faculty of the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich .
It promotes international exchange in finance and other economic areas. To this end, the institute organizes guest stays and supports guest scientists who pursue their research projects in Munich and in return hold short series of lectures.
Since it was founded in 1991, 914 scientists have been guests at the institute (as of the end of 2016). The work of the CES is accompanied and supported by a scientific advisory board made up of around 20 international experts.
history
The institute was founded on January 18, 1991 by Hans-Werner Sinn . Early guests included Gary Becker , David Bradford , Richard Musgrave and David Wildasin . In 1994 CES was co-editor of Economic Policy , Europe's leading academic journal in the field of economic policy . In the same year, CES awarded the Distinguished CES Fellow for the first time. Since 1998, the CES has been one of the first institutes worldwide to offer the opportunity to participate in the economic discussion of its community via the Internet. In 1998 the in-house research group was also significantly enlarged.
Since 1999 the institute has been cooperating with the Ifo Institute , one of the largest economic research institutes in Germany. Since then, both organizations have been part of the CESifo group and are the driving force behind it, strengthening the links between economic theory and empirical research, promoting personal and professional contact with international scientists and thus making Munich a platform for economic and economic policy research.
