Chaired by LSE’s Christopher Pissarides, the Centre comprises economists from University of Cambridge, London School of Economics (LSE), University of Oxford, University College London (UCL), the Bank of England and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR).[2] The Centre is co-directed by Ricardo Reis, Professor of Economics at LSE.[3]
The Centre's main research activities are divided into five different areas:[4]
Research is disseminated through events, workshops, seminars and published materials – in particular, through a discussion paper series on RePEc, and a public lecture programme at LSE.[5][6]
Launched in 2014, the monthly CFM Survey questions a panel of UK-based economists on macroeconomic and public policy in both the UK and international economies,[7] and highlights the degree of consensus among these experts.[8] The survey aims to give a comprehensive overview of the beliefs held by economists, in particular "to include the views of those economists whose opinions are not frequently heard in public debates".[9]
