Economics & Data Analytics
Data-driven insights for inclusive growth and informed decision-making.
We harness evidence and analytics for informed decision-making. Economic transformation influences employment and livelihoods, so analysis has to be usable by the people who decide. Our economists and data scientists turn research into strategies governments, businesses, and development partners can act on.
Economic transformation changes jobs, prices, public revenue, and who can take part in growth. Analysis is useful when the people who decide can see the trade-offs.
What this practice covers
01
Growth diagnostics
Read the structure of an economy: what is driving output, where constraints sit, and which reforms would move more than one outcome.
02
Livelihoods and labour
Connect macro figures to employment, skills, and household income so a growth story is also a jobs story.
03
Public investment screening
Help teams compare options with costs, benefits, and the assumptions that would change the ranking.
04
Indicator systems
Design a small set of measures that can be updated, explained, and used in a budget or a board paper.
