Economist

Economists work across all our practice areas and have the opportunity to deliver a variety of types of analysis to support our clients.

We typically perform: economic and financial modelling; econometric assessments; qualitative assessments; literature reviews; and stakeholder interviews. Day-to-day work for Economists includes supporting analysis; developing client deliverables; supporting business development; and supporting the company’s day-to-day operations.

Examples of projects worked on by CEPA Economists include:

• modelling the impact to the energy network from new sources of generation being added;

• using econometrics to identify optimal charging structures in transport;

• modelling the long-term socioeconomic benefits of a new wastewater treatment plant in Dublin;

• applying auction design theory to the allocation of broadband subsidies; and,

• assessing the impact of key global health organizations through mixed-methods evaluations and public health/economics modelling.

We typically work in small project teams, meaning that Economists make a major contribution to the success of our work, interacting with senior members and clients from day one. Economists will typically work on multiple projects at any one point in time, and work on 10-15 projects over the course of a year.
