Goal of the Network
The goal of the network is to connect researchers working on topics related to Swiss public economics (including public finance and public policy) and/or an interest in Swiss data. The network aims to strengthen the ties between academics and practitioners at universities, public administration, the Swiss National Bank and private institutions. Actors of the civil society as well as the media are welcome to join our network and its activities - please note that all discussions are held under the Chatham House Rules.
