Sector 6: International economics

For a small open economy such as the Netherlands, the international arena is vitally important. CPB's International Economics sector conducts studies on international and European policy issues and undertakes scenario studies for the long term. The work is carried out in three programmes: Globalisation, Climate Change and Europe.
