In addition to the Research Chairs around which the Foundation’s activities are structured, Fedea has created or participates in research networks in Spain and at international level. The networks aim to provide a shared research space or enable common projects to be set in motion by different research centres and individuals. As a body, Fedea participates in the following networks (the list does not include networks of which its researchers are members):

Sociedad Abierta
This is an opinion forum for socio-economic issues created by Fedea as part of a consortium led by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), which has set up a portal for the whole of Europe called "Vox" (http://www.voxeu.org). Other countries have created similar portals in Italian (http://www.lavoce.info) and French (http://www.telos-eu.com). The main aim of "Sociedad Abierta" is to encourage the involvement of prestigious researchers from the world of economics in discussions of the main problems faced by today's society.

CONSOLIDER Proyect
The first Consolider-Ingenio 2010 Programme, established by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, approved the Project entitled "Consolidating Economics", submitted by a consortium of research centres led by Andreu Mas-Colell and with participation by FEDEA, in collaboration with researchers from the Department of Economics and Business and the Law and Sociology Groups of the Pompeu Fabra University; the Departments of Economics, Economic History and Business of the Carlos III University in Madrid; the Fundaments of Economics Unit at the Autonomous University of Barcelona; Department of Economic Analysis at the University of Alicante; the Economic Analysis Institute of the Spanish Council for Science Research; the Centre for Monetary and Financial Studies (CEMFI); the Centre for International Economic Research (CREI); and Public-Private Sector Centre at IESE.

Enepri
The European Network of Economic Policy Research Institutes (ENEPRI) is a consortium of 22 European research bodies which aims to promote the dissemination of research conducted in the centres, coordinate research plans and encourage common projects. It was created in 2000 at the initiative of the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) and has participated in the V and VI European Union Research Framework Programmes.

Mainstreaming Methodology for Estimating the Costs of Crime
The purpose of this network, which is funded by the VI EU Framework Programme, is to analyse the most efficient way to carry out the process of harmonisation of national legislation on civil law from the economic standpoint.

Redg
Research in Economic Dynamics is the name given to a network of researchers that uses Fedea to energise and give visibility to their research on macroeconomic issues from a dynamic perspective.

Red Vivienda
"Red Vivienda" (Housing Network) is a multidisciplinary group of researchers who have been working in recent years in their Universities and other research centres on the relationship between housing and other spheres of the economy and society (demographics and homes, geographical mobility, urbanism, land, construction and real estate, financial sector, social policy, fiscal policy, etc). The project is funded by the Ministry of Education and Science. It is coordinated via FEDEA in a flexible and open manner.

Red de Credibilidad de los Regímenes Cambiarios (RCRC)
This network was set up to contribute to the growing body of empirical literature on the optimum choice of exchange rate regimens through four inter-related lines of research: detection of de facto exchange rate regimens versus de iure regimens (i.e., the regimen actually applied by the authorities in a country and the one they formally declare adherence to); evaluation of the degree of credibility of the implicit exchange rate fluctuation bands that may be detected; identification of the economic, political and institutional variables that determine the choice of a given exchange rate regimen and examination of the transmission of macroeconomic volatility under different exchange rate regimens. The network is funded by the Ministry of Education and Science.
