Economics and Finance

The competitive - and also cooperative – environment entails complexity of decision processes for firms in both the public and private sectors. Within our research focus on Market Structure, Firm Strategy, and Market Performance we offer clients theoretically and empirically based advice. Studies utilise a range of methods, for example efficiency-measurement (DEA and SFA) of public and private institutions, the evaluation of economic effects of certain actions (IHS multi-sector multi-regional input-output-model), distributional effects (gravity model), the optimization of processes and actions, and the interaction between regulation and competitive behaviour and outcomes.
