Economics

RPS undertakes comprehensive economic analysis and research to support the work of clients across many industries.

Realising opportunities through insights

Specialising in economic analysis for markets, physical and social infrastructure, we help our clients to understand the value of opportunities and generate real benefits for the communities in which they work.

Through deep insights, our consultants help you to understand socio-economic context more fully and identify clear pathways for positive impact through investment.

We assess economic trends and the influences they have on markets, communities, profitability, pricing, investment and regulation. Using this information, we provide evidence-based insights to support business strategy and contribute to shared value creation.

Driving positive outcomes through economic analysis for projects, policies and programs, we generate the evidence needed to justify business decisions and make strategic plans about when, where and how to invest.

Whether you are an investor or stakeholder, in business, government or the community, we develop easy-to-understand insights to help you prioritise, plan and implement positive policies and projects.
