What is Economic Impact Analysis?

Economic Impact Analysis is a structured process that helps us understand what effects a given decision, change or event may have on the economy, society and environment. This allows us to make more informed decisions based on specific information and data. In this way, Economic Impact Analysis not only facilitate decision-making, but also support the process of adapting to changing market and regulatory conditions, which is crucial for the long-term success of companies. 

Impact analyses allow us to estimate the impact of investments already made or the effects of the activities of entities currently operating on the market. Thanks to this, we can understand what value companies or industries bring to the local and national economy. On this basis, we create a comprehensive report that highlights and clearly presents the economic contribution of companies and their role in building the local community.

Our mission is to support our clients in overcoming everyday challenges and pointing out opportunities for development.

Elements of impact analysis

Economic impact

Analysis of the impact of a given activity on the economy in a given area, taking into account changes in economic growth (production or value added) and related changes in employment.

Environmental impact

The impact of a business or infrastructure investment on the environment and may include variables such as RES, water saving and waste management.

What makes us stand out?

Our offer

Economic impact analyses measure the impact of a company or event (e.g. infrastructure investment) on the economy. These analyses are often enhanced with econometric forecasts of the impact of a given factor in the future.

Economic and socio-economic analyses include market research and assessment, identification of global economic trends, export promotion and analysis of investment potential for countries, regions and companies.

Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) aims to verify the effects of regulation (both ex ante and ex post) in order to estimate the impact of the adopted regulation on the economy, its individual sectors, enterprises and society.

Our approach

Over the past couple years, our team has been involved in a number of different projects, gaining extensive experience and building unique skills in many areas related to economic analysis and impact analysis. The projects we have worked on have focused on capacity building and their priority was broad stakeholder engagement. We believe that our interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and proven experience will allow us to provide you and your organization with the necessary assistance and expertise.

Vision is tailored to the client's needs

We begin our work with a meeting with the client, during which we define the scope of work and propose solutions tailored to the specifics and individual needs. We believe that each project is unique, which is why we use different methods that are most appropriate for a given issue.

Use of quantitative and qualitative methods

In our reports, we use not only quantitative methods (e.g. the Leontief model to estimate the company's impact on the economy), but also qualitative ones – e.g. in-depth interviews with employees or examples of good practices in cooperation with other suppliers, to show the broader context of business activity.

Attention to detail at every stage of our work

We pay attention to detail at every stage of the project – not only in quantitative analyses, but also when describing the results in our materials. Our publications undergo professional editorial proofreading, and a dedicated team watches over the quality.

We care of the visual side of our materials

We believe that even the most complicated analyses should be explained in an understandable way. We make sure that the language of our reports is concise and accessible. We also attach great importance to the visual editing of our materials.

Collaboration with the client

We operate in an agile manner – throughout the duration of the project, we are in constant contact with the client (e.g. through regular status meetings) to inform the client about the progress of the work and obtain feedback, so that we are sure that the final products delivered are in line with their expectations.
