Institutul de Economie Mondiala (IEM) a fost infiintat in anul 1967. Obiectivele principale ale acestuia sunt studiul si analiza politicilor economice nationale si internationale, precum si impactul acestora.

Un pilon esential in activitatea IEM este sa propuna autoritatilor nationale instrumente utile in analiza situatiei economice si sprijin in asigurarea cresterii robuste a economiei. De-a lungul intregii perioade de activitate, au fost elaborate sute de studii si sinteze care au constituit un suport important pentru factorii de decizie. In plus, sub egida IEM, cercetatorii din institut au publicat numeroase carti si cursuri universitare care au reprezentat baza de formare profesionala pentru generatii de studenti, in principal pentru cei inrolati in cadrul Academiei de Studii Economice din Bucuresti.

La nivel international, IEM a dezvoltat colaborari cu institutii similare din estul si vestul Europei, care au fost esentiale in intelegerea aprofundata a contextului economic a tarilor in cauza. In cadrul IEM, analiza politicilor economice si implicatiile acestora in cadrul statelor membre ale Uniunii Europene au reprezentat subiecte de studiu principale si in fiecare an, planul de cercetare al institutului are incluse studii din acest domeniu.

In general, IEM a diseminat rezultatele obtinute prin intermediul studiilor de cercetare, a politicilor elaborate, prin participare la conferinte si publicarea de articole stiintifice in jurnale de profil, dar si prin programe de diseminare interinstitutionale. De asemenea, IEM este parte a Grupului de Lucru Interinstitutional din Romania care analizeaza impactul economic si financiar al crizei de sanatate provocate de COVID-19 , propune politici si elaboreaza diferite scenarii economice. In acest context, experienta institutului este relevanta pentru problema abordata. In cadrul proiectului de fata, relatiile interinstitutionale dezvoltate de IEM cu autoritatile centrale au prevăzut o abordare integrată a studiului pregătirii economice, precum si a impactului economic și social al reactiilor din domeniul sanatatii publice.

De asemenea, institutul are incheiate acorduri interinstituționale cu institutele din țările vecine prin care sunt diseminate studiile elaborate.
