To better meet the needs of the growing research network, a number of activities are divided into the areas of: Employment and Social Protection; Macro, Money and International Finance; Public Sector Economics Applied Microeconomics; Global Economy; Economics of Education und Climate Economics.
To stimulate international scientific interaction and policy discussions, annual CESifo Area Conferences (to be held in Munich) are organised for area members. In addition to the annual workshops, other conferences and workshops focusing on particular research problems and policy issues are scheduled. These include area workshops which, from 2002, are added to the CESifo Venice Summer Institute. Area members are encouraged to propose to the area co-ordinators themes for the Venice workshops.
The area co-ordinators encourage joint work among network members who are interested in carrying out empirical and/or institutional cross-country studies using the Ifo Institute's rich databases on institutional international comparisons and on the business cycle. Further initiatives for co-operation and exchange between network members whose research interests lie within the areas are welcomed.
