EU topics are becoming increasingly important to the future of Europe’s citizens. The discourse at the European level, which centers on Brussels, is leading to a new political reality that is changing Europe. It is important that economists participate in this discourse, as much of what happens has an economic dimension, costs a lot of money, and leads to fiscal redistribution in Europe. CESifo was founded to provide economic-policy ideas at the European level, the importance of which is growing steadily.
