The Centre d'Études Prospectives et d'Informations Internationales (lit. 'Centre for Prospective Studies and International Information'[1]), generally referred to by its acronym CEPII, is a French institute for research in international economics. It is government-funded and part of the Office of the Prime Minister, within a network coordinated by France Stratégie.[2]
The origins of CEPII go back to the creation in 1963 by French official Michel Courcier of the GEPEI (French: Groupe d'Études Prospectives des Échanges Internationaux), rebranded GEPI (French: Groupe d'Études Prospectives Internationales) in the 1970s. In 1978, CEPII was given permanent status by government order, with Courcier as its founding director.[3]: 8
The CEPII has a core team of around 30 economists. The four main research areas are: factor markets and growth; the international financial and monetary system; EU economy; international trade models.[citation needed]
The Centre for Prospective Studies and International Information (CEPII) is also a partner in the IPD project.
