Evidence-based economics for policy and strategy

Our economic analysis work includes market and policy assessments to understand competition, pricing, and consumer outcomes, economic impact assessments using input–output and CGE modelling techniques, cost–benefit and value-for-money evaluations for public and private investment projects, forecasting and macroeconomic analysis to inform planning and performance measurement along with distributional and equity analysis to assess policy impacts on households and industries.

PJ was a key member on the project team, which helped deliver changes and improvements in the understanding of energy retail.
