CEP studies the determinants of economic performance at the level of the company, the nation and the global economy by focusing on the major links between globalisation, technology, the educational system and the labour market and their impact on productivity, inequality, employment, stability and wellbeing.

It addresses three related questions:

• How to foster growth?
• How to share growth?
• How to make growth sustainable?
