The Center for Economic & Policy Research (CEPR) is a research organization that examines economic changes in various countries, including the impact of policies from organizations such as the IMF, World Bank, and WTO. CEPR also focuses on economic policies that affect the US healthcare and welfare systems, as well as the role of intellectual property and international commercial agreements on inequality and economic mobility. The private company is based in Washington. Established in 1999, CEPR aims to promote democratic debate on important economic and social issues.
