Nordic Economic Policy Review (NEPR)
NEPR is run by a steering group comprising representatives of the Nordic Ministries of Finance and the academic project manager, Lars Calmfors, Professor of International Economics at Stockholm University and Nordregio. One edition of the journal is published each year on a theme determined by the steering Group, Nordregio and the academic project manager. A launch event is also held each year in order to create a policy-oriented discussion about the current topics.
The 2019 edition examines Climate policy and the Nordic countries. Six articles will be written, each addressing a different issue within the topic. The first conference takes place in Stockholm on 24 October, read more and register here.
