CESifo is a global, independent research network with members from across the world. Members are prominent economists with a broad spectrum of specialisms, each of whom brings years of experience and a high level of expertise to our research areas. Collectively, our mission is to advance international scientific knowledge exchange about economics and economic policy, to strengthen the cooperation between the ifo Institute and LMU Munich, and to maintain Munich as a vibrant hub of economic debate in Europe. CESifo is funded by the State of Bavaria.

Ro'ee Levy
During his CESifo visit, Ro’ee Levy will focus on studying the demand and supply of news slant. The internet and social media have dramatically transformed the news landscape. The abundance of online news options, recommendations of social media algorithms, and changes in news production may have segregated individuals into echo chambers, environments where people mostly consume like-minded news. Such echo chambers could exacerbate polarization, distort perceptions of reality, and threaten democracy. However, a gap remains between these grave concerns and the limited evidence on echo chambers.
Calendar
CESifo organizes conferences, workshops and seminars that provide ideal opportunities for interaction and the exchange of ideas. The conferences are divided into two categories: annual area conferences relating to the individual areas of the CESifo Research Network, and conferences initiated and supported by network members that deal with topical issues in the field of economic research.
