CFS People
"Good policy needs rigorous, state-of-the-art economic analysis, combined with sound judgement. It is necessary to critically mirror the "new" against the "old" – both in theory and with regard to political circumstances. Economic research conducted in such a way remains theory, but a theory that does not solely rely on a model."
