Why choose us

Europe Economics is committed to delivering high quality in everything we do. Our objective is always to provide excellent client service and to have a strong company culture founded on integrity, teamwork, analytical skills, and personal commitment.

The key elements of our approach are as follows:

  • If there is economics involved, we can do it. We apply economic reasoning across multiple sectors and policy issues. The skills used in carrying out the analysis for each practice area are transferable across sectors.
  • Our specialism lies in theoretically and methodologically robust economics. If non-economics knowledge is also required for delivering a project, then we collaborate with relevant experts.
  • We seek to combine the rigor of academic research with the client-focused professionalism of leading law firms and management consultancies.
  • We are experts in both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
  • Each project is unique. Therefore, we tailor the analysis to the client’s specific needs.
  • We can provide either independent economic advice or advocacy, depending on the client’s needs.
  • We advise private, public, and third sector clients.
  • We present our analysis in a clear and persuasive manner, tailored to the target audience. For example, we can present our economic analysis in a simple and non-technical manner for non-specialists, when required.
  • We work in project teams, customising each team to the specific project at hand in order to reflect the necessary experience and expertise.

" The aspect of the internship I enjoyed the most was interacting with my co-workers. These interactions were great overall and solidified my desire to attain my Ph.D. in Economics. "

" I enjoyed finding new deals, and I enjoyed getting the opportunity to work in Excel, which ended up being a major learning experience. Additionally, I found learning more about the backgrounds of certain projects and working with relevant data to be fascinating. I do wish I’d had the opportunity to work with Stata, but overall, I loved the internship. "

" I enjoyed the tasks that made me step out of my comfort zone, especially researching information on countries where the first language is not English. The exposure for most of the tasks was a new curriculum and something I needed more practice on. "

Professional regulation

Healthcare professionals are the driving force behind the delivery of high-quality care. Outcomes can be affected by external structures and systems as well as individuals’ training and incentives. Economic regulation is one tool that can assist healthcare regulators discern between contextual, clinical and competency risks facing a healthcare profession and its workforce, and develop targeted and cost-effective regulation and training. Our work includes:
  • A seminal assessment of the risks in domiciliary social care and options for revalidation and training to address these risks for the Department of Health, in the context of the Government’s White Paper on non-medical healthcare regulation.
  • Similar assessments of the risks and options for revalidation to address these risks for the General Optical Council; the General Dental Council; and the General Chiropractic Council.
  • A cost-benefit analysis of options for continuing professional development (CPD) for the General Dental Council.
  • Cost-benefit analysis of regulation models for optical businesses for the General Optical Council.

European Commission, DG CLIMA

We have conducted several studies for DG CLIMA relating to the European Union’s emissions trading system.   For example, we conducted a study looking at the impact of changes in trading activity on the price formation processes in the European carbon market, the access to the market for retail investors, which included also the access via exchange traded funds (ETFs), the hedging strategies of EU emissions trading system (ETS) compliance entities, and the role played by derivatives and financial entities in the EU ETS.

Danish Energy Regulator (Energistyrelsen)

We looked at how a benchmarking model used to help set price controls by the Energistyrelsen on DSOs might affect the Green Transition.  We looked at the challenges facing DSOs in the Green Transition and what behaviours should be incentivised.  We then looked at how the benchmarking model and wider regulatory framework might affect those incentives.  This included developing a number of worked examples to consider how the benchmarking model might affect incentives to invest in network expansion, faster connections or flexibility solutions. 

Zero Waste Scotland

Europe Economics was engaged by Zero Waste Scotland (ZWS) to estimate how potential efficiency savings in water and energy are likely to be distributed across firms of different sizes and ownership structures in Scotland. The aim was to inform ZWS policy of where to target resource saving initiatives; in particular whether potential savings were sufficiently concentrated among SMEs to warrant specific effort among these.

We was also engaged by ZWS to estimate the costs and benefits of proposed market restrictions on specific single-use plastic products in Scotland and to analyse the impacts of the restrictions on competition, consumers and Scottish firms.

Citizens Advice UK

We were commissioned by Citizens Advice UK to investigate the mechanisms that could be used to limit or share the financial risk for energy bill payers in the context of highly anticipatory energy infrastructure investments in GB.

We developed a compendium of risk-allocation tools and, for each, we analysed: the suitability of the mechanism for different types of investments and projects; the extent (and the type) of risk allocated to consumers; the relative advantages and disadvantages of the tool; and how they affect the cost of capital. Each tool also included a case study of the tool being applied in practice.

Difference-in-difference

Relevant for measuring the impacts of changes in regimes/shocks. It uses observational study data of the same units across time and requires that the units (firms, individuals or countries) are divided into treatment and control groups. Difference-in-difference estimates the effect of an intervention by comparing the average change in the outcome variable experienced by the treated group over time to the average change in the outcome variable experienced by the control group.

Stated preference – survey method which is typically used to identify a person’s willingness to pay. Its key advantage is that it enables a monetary value to be placed on certain impacts of a policy or measure.
