Economic Policy

Economic policy encompasses all government measures aimed at shaping and guiding economic activity. Key objectives of economic policy interventions include price stability, high levels of employment, balanced external accounts, sustainable economic growth, a fair distribution of income and wealth, and the protection of a livable environment.

We analyze the impacts of economic policy measures, assess their coherence, and develop policy options grounded in sound institutional and regulatory principles. Our expertise covers a broad range of markets and thematic areas. In practice, economic issues often span multiple fields simultaneously; we therefore apply an interdisciplinary approach. Depending on the specific context, we employ a variety of analytical methods and frameworks.

Selected fields of expertise: Industrial policy, Labor markets, Environmental economics, Housing markets, Geoeconomics and defense economics, Space economics

Selected methods and approaches: Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIA), Economic assessment of environmental measures (VOBU), Evaluations in accordance with SEVAL standards, Value creation analyses, Behavioral economics approaches
