JACOB ECON is an Economic Intelligence & Analytics firm, built on two principles: Judgement and Evidence.

We transform data into evidence, evidence into insight, and insight into better decisions.

We deliver economic intelligence and analytics that transform complex data into actionable insights. Combining economic forecasting, econometric modelling, demographic intelligence and policy analysis, we help organisations understand risks, evaluate opportunities and make better strategic decisions.

Measure the Economic Impact Before You Act

JacobEcon develops bespoke Input-Output and Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models to assess the economy-wide impacts of policy changes, infrastructure investments, sectoral developments and economic shocks.

Economic Impact & Policy Modelling

Economic decisions rarely affect only one sector or stakeholder group. JacobEcon develops bespoke economic impact models that help organisations understand how policy interventions, investment programmes and structural changes influence economic activity across regions, industries and households.

  • Evaluate the direct, indirect and induced impacts of major projects, policies and investments. We use bespoke IO models and Computable General Equilibrium Models to understand about various economic impacts.

  • Understand how changes within one industry affect others throughout the economy.

  • Assess the potential effects of tax changes, public spending measures and regulatory reforms.

  • Measure economic effects across counties, regions and local economies.
