CASE - Center for Social and Economic Research / Centrum Analiz Społeczno - Ekonomicznych

We are an independent non-profit economic and public policy research institution founded on the idea that evidence-based policy making is vital to the economic welfare of societies.

Established in 1991 in Warsaw, CASE scholars and researchers assisted policy-makers during the early years of transition, before turning their attention to the challenges inherent in the European Union enlargement process and then EU key policy challenges in the globalized world. While remaining focused on our five core thematic areas of:

1. European Neighbourhood Policy, enlargement, trade and economic integration,
2. labour markets, human capital and social policy,
3. innovation, competitiveness and entrepreneurship,
4. reforms, growth and poverty reduction in developing and transition countries,
5. macroeconomics and public finance.

We want to contribute to new debates facing Europe, including the economic impact of climate change mitigation policies and the economics of energy policy.
