Kiel-CEPR European Defence Economics Initiative

Europe’s security is at risk. Recent events have made it clear that Europe will have to rely more on itself in matters of defence and security. Time is running short. Europe will have to quickly build the capabilities needed to defend itself and step up support for Ukraine’s fight for freedom. As before at critical junctures for war and peace, economists have an important role to play. Pressing questions concern the financing of joint European projects, a rapid increase of defence-industrial capacity, as well as developing high-tech defence technologies.

The joint CEPR-Kiel European Defence Economics Initiative aims to build a network to support European policy makers at this critical juncture with economic advice. With this workshop, we want to build the intellectual infrastructure to address Europe’s security challenges and discuss forms of future cooperation.

More information and the program will be available soon.
