Economics
Robust economic assessment in both the public and private sector is required because of the limited resources available to decision-makers to achieve desirable outcomes. In situations where choices must be made concerning the commitment of resources to one use instead of another, economic methods improve the quality of decision-making by providing estimates of how much we must give up for what we gain.
Matrix has extensive experience of employing economic methods and tools to improve the quality of resource-allocation decisions across government. A combination of knowledge of public service delivery, involvement in developing cutting-edge methods in the application of economic
principles to the public sector, and rigorous tools for the measurement of resource use,
means that Matrix is able to apply economic methods effectively across multiple policy areas.
Matrix is running an ongoing series of economics seminars to drive the development of
economics methodologies and to disseminate knowledge of these methods to those working
in the public services.
