The Economic Policy Research Center - EPRC is created to build a contemporary economic research capacity in Georgia, to enhance economic decision making and to be an important voice in economic and policy discussions. EPRC conducts studies in the areas of transition economies. Our research interests include tax policy, trade, monetary policy, financial markets, investment climate, and social welfare among others. 

EPRC foresees bringing together a team of young local economists educated in leading schools across the world and at the same time attracting internationally recognized researchers and scholars interested in studies of post socialist economies. EPRC aims at developing first think tank of international standard in Georgia that will foster economic thinking and bring analytical and quantitative tools into highly unexplored economic and social arena in the region. For fostering capacity building and analytical exchange EPRC also intends to build network with other Transition Economy based research institutions.
