Aim and Scope
Regards économiques is a publication of economists from the Catholic University of Louvain created in 2002 by IRES. Regards économiques publishes (mostly in French) economic analyses on various socio-economic issues in a pedagogical and non-technical language in order to reach a large audience. It reflects the willingness of the economists from UCLouvain to get more involved in the socio-economic debate, particularly in Belgium, and to contribute more directly to the understanding of socio-economic issues. Regards économiques is intended to help and inform policy makers, business companies, non-profit organizations, but also teachers and students.
