A cooperative action financed by the European Commission within the FP7
A forum which brings together the key stakeholders in the European economic research space
An objective: To formulate an Agenda for Research Funding for Economics in Europe (ARFEE)
COEURE – COoperation for EUropean Research in Economics – is a cooperative action financed by the European Commission within the Seventh Framework Programme. It is a forum which brings together the key stakeholders in the European economic research space – scientists from the different strands of economic research in Europe, users of economic research in the policy community, economic decision makers, and funders of economic research, and which, by a process of stocktaking, consultation and stakeholder engagement, is aimed to formulate an Agenda for Research Funding for Economics in Europe (ARFEE).
ARFEE’s agenda is three-folded
how does economic research affect economic policy and growth
how is economic research performed and supported by universities, research centers and funding agencies
how does economic research interplay with other social sciences
COEURE addresses those issues by replying to the following questions
are the resources devoted to economic research adeaquately allocated?
are human resources well trained and equipment well adapted?
what is the functioning of the market for economic research? what are the market failures and the transaction costs?
what are the strengths and weaknesses of the European economic research?
