Munich is a popular meeting place for economists from all over the world. Since the establishment of the CES, more than four hundred economists have participated in the programme. The CESifo Researcher Network arose from this programme.
With CESifo, the visiting researcher programme has been considerably expanded. Now visiting researchers have the opportunity to interact with both members of the LMU faculty of economics and to hold lectures at CES and also to establish contacts with the empirically based research departments of the Ifo Institute. At Ifo the visiting researchers can also access the infrastructure, in particular the extensive data of a major economics research institute (Ifo Datapool ).
I have spent a most wonderful fortnight at Ifo and in Munich. The research environment has been both stimulating and friendly and the work that is being done on topics in international trade under the leadership of Professor Felbermayr is impressive and state of the art. I should like to thank Dr Erdal Yalcin for hosting my visit and for sharing his time with me so generously. The academic environment has been matched by the well thought-out arrangements made by Katja. My wife and I have found the apartment very comfortable and convenient and the bicycles provided have been a great way to enjoy the local scenery. It is a great privilege to have been here and we have thoroughly enjoyed having had the opportunity to explore Munich, its history and culture. Many thanks!

Thanks for the wonderful stay! It has been very productive: I have also very much enjoyed the interaction with the researchers at the Ifo Institute. The three weeks have rather flown by... Many thanks also for making the logistics of the visit so easy that I hardly noticed them. I really look forward to visit again in the future, with greetings to all, Ludo Visschers Universidad Carlos III, Madrid
