(Forbes.com) — VoxEU.org is a policy portal set up by the Centre for Economic Policy Research which aims to promote research-based policy analysis and commentary by leading scholars.

Inefficient stock markets allow majority shareholders–often parent companies–to sell overpriced stock only to buy it back at a later date.
