Institute of Economic Policy

Welcome to the website of the Institute of Economic Policy at the Leibniz University Hannover.

Research, teaching and transfer at the Institute of Economic Policy focus on the quantitative analysis of current issues of economic policy. The basis for this is the combination of theoretical approaches with modern econometric methods using the best possible data. In addition to fundamental insights (basic research), practical implications of these insights for the private sector, politics and the public are of particular importance (applied research).
