The CEP is an interdisciplinary research centre at the LSE Research Laboratory. It was established by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in 1990 and is now one of the leading economic research groups in Europe.
|
The CEP is led by the Director Professor John Van Reenen and Research Director Professor Stephen Machin.
The 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 and institutions (above all the educational system and the labour market) and their impact on productivity, inequality, employment, stability and wellbeing.

Each programme runs a series of related projects addressing key issues, set out under the Programme of Work 2005-2010. [Full document in pdf]
