POLICY DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT

Public sector reform world-wide has created powerful demand amongst policy-makers for the application of microeconomic techniques to a wide range of sectors of the economy. We have strong capabilities in general public policy development and assessment, analysis and design of economic incentives, cost-benefit analysis and programme evaluation. We provide policy advice to government institutions, international organisations and private sector companies all over the world. LE's understanding of policy issues has been used by public-sector institutions ranging from broadcasters and museums to transport providers and environmental policy-makers, as well as by private-sector clients wishing to engage with the policy-making process. Selected examples of our recent policy work include: · The quantification of the macro-economic impact of integration of EU financial markets for the European Commission · An assessment of the impact of European Monetary Union and the Euro on the cost of capital for a multinational company · The quantification of the impact of ITC spending on UK growth and productivity at a sectoral level for Cisco Systems · An assessment of the usefulness of various tax instruments in achieving environmental objectives for a European government · Numerous evaluations for various government agencies. Our senior staff have high-level public as well as private-sector experience. For more information on our policy design, analysis and assessment, please contact us at: policyadvice@londecon.co.uk
