Economics & Public Policy (PEC)
The research group Economics & Public Policy (PEC) conducts economic research on government intervention. In particular, they examine the effectiveness and efficiency of policy measures. They do this by means of cost-benefit analyses and cost-effectiveness analyses. In addition, research is conducted into the impact of the quality of legislation (licensing procedures, administrative burdens, etc.) on the business climate in Europe.
