Centre for Economic Performance

Centre for Economic Performance The CEP is an interdisciplinary research centre at the London School of Economics.

The CEP studies the determinants of economic performance at the level of the company, the nation and the global economy by focusing on the major links between globalisation, technology and institutions (above all the educational system and the labour market) and their impact on productivity, inequality, employment, stability and wellbeing. There are currently six research programmes; Education and

Skills, Globalisation, Labour Markets, Macro Economics, Productivity & Innovation and Wellbeing, plus a new Communities Programme, looking at pro-social behaviour, migration, and crime, soon to be launched.
