I just received the following notice--it looks like it will be an excellent resource.
CEPR (the Center for Economic Policy Research) has launched a new website, VoxEU.org, that is to be a focal point for research-based discussion and analysis of policy relevant economics by researchers. The plan is that everyone reads VoxEU.org since so many high-calibre economists post there, and people want to post there since so many influential and high-calibre people visit the site.
The 'Founding Contributors', who have agreed to contribute regularly, are: Philippe Aghion, Alberto Alesina, Richard Baldwin, Giuseppe Bertola, Tim Besley, Olivier Blanchard, Tito Boeri, Willem Buiter, Michael Burda, Stephen Cecchetti, Daniel Cohen, Juan Dolado, Esther Duflo, Barry Eichengreen, Francesco Giavazzi, Jeffrey Frankel, Rachel Griffith, Philip Lane, Philippe Martin, Richard Portes, Anne Sibert, Guido Tabellini, Shang-Jin Wei, and Charles Wyplosz.
Vox will feature items that are diverse both in terms of length and depth of analysis, but a key element will be 'columns' by researchers on policy relevant topics. These are 500-1500 word "research-based policy analysis and commentary". The level should be above a newspaper column but very much more accessible than a journal article. The audience is trained economists (not necessarily PhD but some formal training) in the public and private sectors, academia as well as the specialized media, so authors can use words like ‘present discounted value’ and ‘median voter’ when discussing, say, pension reform. We encourage references to research in the columns as well as tables, charts and diagrams where appropriate. We encourage submissions from all professional economists.
Vox is in a consortium with LaVoce (Italy), Telos (France) and a Spanish site launching later this month, with German and Dutch partners joining soon. The best contributions will be translated into all the languages and posted on the various sites (each site decides what to translate); thus the best columns will reach much deeper into the policy-making community than a newspaper column.
I hope you'll have a look at VoxEU.org soon.
