The European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) is an independent, non-profit think tank based in Brussels, Belgium, focused on trade policy and other international economic policy issues relevant to Europe. Founded in 2006 by Fredrik Erixon and Razeen Sally, the organization aims to evaluate international economic policies with rigorous cost–benefit analysis and present conclusions in accessible form to inform public discussion and policy in Europe. It positions itself within the think tank sector as a contributor to a culture of evaluation, seeking to illuminate the economic implications of policy choices and promote an open, prosperous European economy in a global context. ECIPE pursues its work by examining the movement of goods, services, capital, and people across borders, and it has engaged in collaborations such as partnerships with educational organizations on research projects. The center operates from the Brussels area and maintains a focus on delivering clear analysis to policymakers, researchers, and the broader public interested in European and international economic policy.
