About ERC
The Economic Research Council, Britain's oldest economics-based think tank, is dedicated to discuss, dispute, debate and generally seek enlightenment on economic issues of all kinds. Like all think tanks, the ERC ultimately aims to close the gap between policy and knowledge. In respect of quangos, we saw the need to collate meaningful data as the basis for knowledge concerning a substantial area of government of which too little is known.
