Introducing the Institute for Macroeconomic and International Policies

Drawing on experience in the field of macroeconomics, international economics, and environment, the Institute produces applied economic policy research. The i-MIP develops numerical methods for economic modeling, based on the latest research advancements. Contribution to the economic debate is made through reports for national and international public organizations.

The Institute disseminates its work and results in the classic academic format (working papers and articles published in international scientific journals) and in formats adapted to a wider audience (notes and reports). Policy briefs ensure the dissemination of results, as well as participation in public debate through social networks and the media. The Institute’s scientific ambition goes hand in hand with total independence and a nonpartisan, rigorous analysis of contemporary macroeconomic and international issues.

The work carried out at i-MIP today covers four broad themes: the impact of macroeconomic and fiscal policies in the presence of heterogeneous economic agents (in terms of household income, for example) on income, employment, inflation and public debt; the economic impact of environmental policies (in the short and long run); the transmission of shocks in economic networks and global value chains; and the impact of the fragmentation of the global economy (for example, on trade tensions) on income and activity. In addition, i-MIP develops research within a project incubator on labor market frictions and adjustments, and the use of granular data in public policy analysis.
