About the CfM-NIESR Survey

​Designed to explore expert macroeconomists’ views on UK and European policy issues, the Centre for Macroeconomics survey is conducted in partnership with the National Institute of Economic and Social Research. It aims to inform the public debate and provide a comprehensive overview of the beliefs held by some of the best European academic macroeconomists.

Each survey consists of one or more hypotheses with panellists asked to choose their response and indicate, on a scale of one-to-ten, their confidence in the answer.  In addition, participants are given the option to explain their choice. The confidence level is used to construct weighted responses.

About NIESR

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) is Britain's longest established independent research institute, founded in 1938 by a group of major social and economic reformers including John Maynard Keynes and William Beveridge. As a charity, it is independent of all party-political interests, receives no core funding and has a primary mission of carrying out research into the economic and social forces that affect people’s lives, improving the understanding of these forces, and the ways in which policy can bring about change.
