摘要:Intereconomics was established in 1966 and has carried the subtitle ‘Review of European Economic Policy’ since 2001. I joined as Editor-in-Chief in April of this year and thank my predecessor Brigitte Preissl, the editorial team and our authors for making Intereconomics an infl uential, independent and international platform for European economic policy debate and a bridge between economic researchers and policymakers. Numerous outstanding econo- mists, including Nobel Prize winners, Ministers and EU Commissioners have contributed to Intereconomics and enriched the debate centered on the continuously evolving economic policy challenges in Europe.
