Kiel Institute for the World Economy
The Kiel Institute for the World Economy sees itself as the research institute in Germany for globalization issues. Our researchers investigate the drivers and effects of international economic activity, the integration and disintegration of global markets as well as the opportunities and limits of political action in open economies. The Institute analyzes the world economy not just as the sum of individual national economies, but rather as a global economic area that must be understood and shaped. We have tasked ourselves with identifying emerging global economic challenges and developing practical solutions that are compatible with open markets and competition while also taking account of everyone’s standard of living. Research – the Kiel Institute concentrates on applied and evidence-based economic research that explores new methodologies and is guided by internationally recognized standards of excellence. Policy guidance – with the knowledge gained through research, our experts provide impartial, open-ended advice to German, European, and international policy makers as well as institutions, trade bodies, and businesses. Dialogue – we believe that engaging with the wider public is a key strategic responsibility for both the Institute and its research staff. They contribute to public debate by providing science-based data via the media and at events. With the internationally renowned Advanced Studies Program (ASP) we support the education and training of young economists. The Kiel Institute is a member of the Leibniz Association --- Legal Notice: https://www.ifw-kiel.de/legal-notice/ Privacy: https://www.ifw-kiel.de/privacy/
