Policy Briefs

Starting in 2022, members of CEPE began to write short policy briefs. These briefs provide a clear and concise summary of information that can help readers better understand government policies and make more informed decisions. Typically, these policy briefs are based on scientific papers written by members of CEPE. However, they may also be based on papers published by other scholars.

The views expressed in the policy briefs are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of other members of CEPE.
