Institut des politiques publiques

the Institut des politiques publiques (IPP) has been created by Paris School of Economics (PSE) and is developed through a scientific partnership between PSE-École d'Économie de Paris and the Groupe des Écoles Nationales d'Économie et de Statistique (GENES). The aim of the IPP is to promote quantitative analysis and evaluation of public policy using cutting-edge research methods in economics.

Researchers affiliated to IPP are researchers from PSE and from CREST, researchers belonging to other research institutions and a permanent team dedicated to IPP. Their work relates to themes covering a wide spectrum of public policy:

Tax and benefit systems
Employment policies
Education
Health
Firms
Pensions
Democracy and institutions
Environment
Housing
Competition policies

The research carried out by IPP aims both to develop scientific research in the field of public policies and to inform the public debate. To do so, and via numerous projects, IPP publishes its research in different formats, some aimed at academics (working papers and peer-reviewed journal) and some aimed at a wider audience (notes and reports). In addition to this, IPP develops on-line tools to enable a larger number of people to become acquainted with public policy issues, notably the IPP tax and benefit tables.
