Economic Policy
is published by Blackwell Publishing for CEPR
(Centre for Economic Policy Research), the Center for
Economic Studies of the University of Munich (CES),
and Paris School of Economics (PSE)
in association with the European Economic Association.
In October 2005, Economic Policy celebrated its 20th anniversary with a special celebration at the Bank of England. During that anniversary year, some of the journal's contributors took a moment to reflect on a retrospective of Economic Policy's contributions over its existence.
From 2005 Economic
Policy is published quarterly.
Economic
Policy provides timely and authoritative
analyses of the choices confronting policy-makers. The
subject matter ranges from the study of how individual
markets can and should work to the broadest interactions
in the world economy. It has earned a worldwide reputation
for identifying current and emerging policy topics and
subjecting them to an analysis that is both rigorous
and accessibly presented.
It offers an independent,
non-partisan, perspective on issues of worldwide concern.
It emphasizes problems of international significance,
either because they affect the world economy directly
or because the experience of one country contains important
lessons for policy-makers elsewhere.
All the articles are specifically
commissioned from leading professional economists. Their
brief is to illuminate topical policy issues by combining
the insights of modern economics with best available
evidence. The presentation is incisive and written in
plain language accessible to a wide range of participants
in the policy debate.
Prior to publication, each
article is discussed by a Panel of distinguished economists.
Summaries of Panelists' comments are included in each
volume in order to provide readers with alternative interpretations
of the evidence and a sense of the liveliness of the
current debate. The Panel, which rotates annually, represents
a broad range of specialisations and nationalities.
"Controversial,
decisive, informative, one step ahead."
Rudiger Dornbusch, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

the best sources of European policy analysis -- Economic
Policy can be relied on to be interesting, relevant,
and thoroughly professional."
Stanley Fischer, IMF
"Over the
years, the journal has built a reputation as an accessible,
relevant and respected input into the European economic
policy debate. The young and superb new team of Managing
Editors can only strengthen this reputation."

is a convincing response to those who claim that economics
has little to offer the real world." Mervyn
King, Deputy Governor, Bank of England

Policy has clearly established itself as an excellent
source for timely, accessible and relevant economic
analysis of high quality." Jacob A. Frenkel,
