About the Centre

CEREC's main research topics are: Industrial Organization, Game Theory, Environmental Economics, Public Economics, Education Economics, Macroeconomics, Finances, International Economics. A common characteristic of these research projects is that they analyze the role that public authorities can have in order to obtain the highest welfare level or efficiency in the economy.

Most of our research projects are part of many collaborations of CEREC's members with other research centers from Belgium and abroad. We publish a list of working papers (CEREC Working Papers) that can be uploaded on our site web.
