CRIEFF was established within the Economics Department of St Andrews University in November 1991 to foster rigorous research in industrial economics. This implies a commitment to applying advanced theoretical, quantitative and qualitative methods to contemporary problems of industrial organization, taking explicit account of the relevant institutional framework. The research agenda includes mainstream industrial organisation, R&D and technological diffusion, the organisational theory of the firm, the economics of the household, health economics, the environmental consequences of firms' activities, micro-modelling of the firm for macroeconomic purposes, multinational firms, the economics of the single European market, marketisation and privatisation. Recent research projects being conducted within CRIEFF have included a CIMA funded project on risk appraisal in high technology ventures, a British Academy funded project on flexibility and small firm performance, an Enterprise Ireland project on long-lived small firms and a ScotEcon project on high-tech clusters
