Whereas Ifo's research has a strong policy orientation, research at CES is more theory oriented. The close co-operation in the form of joint working groups, projects, publications and seminars contributes to giving empirical research a more solid theoretical foundation and directing university research more strongly than before in an empirical direction and more suited to policy needs. Despite the different orientations, the quality standards are the same: the research is attuned to the international discussion and conforms to international standards of excellence. This is also reflected in a comparison of the publication activity of economic research institutes in countries and regions where German is spoken (Steininger, Martin und Bernd Süssmuth: "Elfenbeinligen und ihre Erfassung: Ein Kommentar und eine neuerliche Messung der Publikationstätigkeit der Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitute im deutschsprachigen Raum: 1989-2003", Perspektiven der Wirtschaftspolitik 6 (3), 409-420; Download, PDF, 1.7 MB)
