Delegation of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Statistics Visits ZEW

On August 7, 2012, a high-ranking delegation of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Statistics visited the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in Mannheim. The group consisted of the twenty directors of the statistical offices of Beijing Municipality. In an intensive information exchange, they gained insights into the activities and research areas in which ZEW is engaged.

Dr. Daniela Heimberger, ZEW’s international research cooperation officer, welcomed the visitors and provided an overview of the institute’s work. Dr. Georg Licht, head of the ZEW Research Department "Industrial Economics and International Management", presented the main areas of research at ZEW. The guests from China were particularly interested in the surveys ZEW researchers conduct on a variety of topics and in the databases built on the data gathered at ZEW.
