Economical Think-Tanks In Romania

In Romania, the economical research benefits from a complex and efficient institutional framework. Beyond research, the Romanian economical think-tanks perform important functions oriented towards the governing factors and the professional audience, so that, directly or indirectly, the research result influences the government and the local administration policies, but also shapes public opinion tendencies towards the support or limitation of certain types of economic policies. While the origin of the modern think-tanks is to be found in the United States of America, the organization and functioning of the Romanian ones are still strongly influenced by the Russian model of the research institutes, subordinated to the Academy. The Romanian reality of the economic think-tanks represents the fusion of the two models, being able to efficiently meet the challenges of a fluctuating global economic context and the needs of the national economy in transition.
