The MEP

Welcome to Münster Center for Economic Policy (MEP). The Center is part of the Department of Economics at Münster University. The Center brings together students and professors, researchers and teachers, and administrative staff. Our areas of interest, both in research and teaching, range from innovation and digitalization to taxation and social security, from behavioral economics to transport and energy markets, from industrial organization to climate change and sustainable market design. Our goal is to provide the highest level of education in the field of economics and to conduct cutting-edge research on the most pressing economic issues of our time. An important part of our agenda is to make our research accessible to the general public, governments and other stakeholders in society. The Managing Director of the MEP is Prof. Johannes Becker. The other directors are Prof. Markus Dertwinkel-Kalt, Prof. Vitali Gretschko,  Prof. Nadine Riedel, Prof. Gernot Sieg and Prof. Martin Watzinger.
