History

Between 2006 and 2016, the CED was a Linnaeus Centre of Excellence funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) and Lund University. During this period, CED also managed a research school that trained new talented scholars in the area of economic demography.

Up until 2017, CED was an independent unit at the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM). Since 2018, CED is administered by the Department of Economic History at LUSEM.
