Kiel Institute for the World Economy

The Kiel Institute aims to be Europe’s preeminent research institute for global economic affairs, combining cutting-edge research on par with leading economics departments with visible and lasting policy impact on the national and international level. To achieve this, we are committed to fostering a strong culture of research excellence and intellectual openness, supported by modern career paths, an extensive international network, and a rigorous doctoral program. In a rapidly shifting economic and technological environment, our approach prioritizes innovation, change and curiosity to grasp new opportunities for impactful research and policy contributions as they arise. We are deeply committed to having observable impact by producing policy-relevant research and providing research-based policy advice. Through our research, we put new topics and ideas on the agenda and shape the policy debate in Germany, Europe, and internationally. We are dedicated to transferring the insights from data-driven research into the political process and the wider public debate. Our research hub in Berlin with CEPR plays a central role for the dissemination of our research, as does our commitment to remain a leader in forecasting. Our global ambition is to be a central node in research and policy networks on international economic affairs. To achieve this, we continuously seek to attract outstanding scholars, build new international partnerships, and deepen our cooperation with leading research institutions and universities in Germany and internationally. As the only economic research institute dedicated to international economics in Germany, we initiate and facilitate public conversations on global economic affairs and maintain an active conference and event calendar.
