EMEA THE ANALYSIS
Economic analysis can clarify even the most intractable issues, to inform better decisions. Here we bring the best that economics has to offer without bias: setting out what is and isn’t known, and what needs to be considered when there is no consensus.
FROM THE EDITOR
In The Analysis, we consider the complex challenges that businesses and policymakers face, and demonstrate the light that economic analysis can shed on them – albeit partially – to inform better decisions and advance important debates.
In this edition, our economists illustrate how economic theory helps analyse complex situations and trade-offs. They show how: the relationship between energy prices and consumption affects the effectiveness and affordability of support for energy bills; the relationship between royalties and the benefits standardised technology provide affects the incentives to develop and implement value adding technology; and the relationship between ownership and control affects incentives to increase prices after a partial acquisition.
