Our Economics & Policy practice provides economic studies, econometric modelling, research and policy analysis for a range of public and private-sector clients. The practice focuses on four core areas: Socio-Economic Impact Assessment: Socio-economic impact analysis and economic cost benefit analysis are vital tools for understanding how industries, businesses, specific projects and public policy affect the economy. Economic strategy: Economic strategy engagements support clients in strategic decision-making by helping them understand economic and market scenarios. Policy assessments: In these types of engagements, we study certain government policies, regulation and legislation aiming to support our clients in evidence-based policy decisions. We also develop recommendations for changes that would balance the need to maintain the intent of policy makers while removing restrictions to investment. Quantitative analysis, modeling, and econometrics: Development of statistical models, quantitative analysis, and prospective modeling intended for decision-making processes, such as supply and demand models and case studies. The candidate must demonstrate strong skills in quantitative analysis.
