Sound economic analysis is at the core of successful government policy and business decision making. This can range from economic impact and Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) to national or local government growth planning.
We work together with international, national and local public bodies and agencies to develop economic strategies and policies. We analyse and model data trends, consult widely and develop strategic insights that achieve specific goals.
When considering whether to spend public sector funds, a range of factors are evaluated in advance. These include the likely up-front capital and recurring costs, as well as the various positive economic and societal impacts on potential beneficiaries.
Our team has extensive and wide-ranging experience in undertaking CBA, Economic Appraisals and Business Cases for both capital and revenue projects across the island of Ireland.
Our economic impact work is used to support planning applications for capital investments influencing policy and external communications.
Do you know the value and impact of your activities? Formal evaluation ensures that money is being spent efficiently and effectively and provides evidence of the direct and indirect impacts of public spending.
