Rigorous "what if?" analysis
Taken together, our models provide a set of tools for conducting rigorous “what if” scenario analysis, which we can use to:
- Test the robustness of your business plans or investment strategies
Analyse the implications of public policy changes on the performance of the local economy - Consider the risks involved in entering a new market
- Contribute to risk planning and mitigation exercises
Key themes for cities in 2022
Against a helpful macroeconomic background, albeit with risks, city economies will continue to recover in 2022. GDP growth will mostly be slower than in 2021, but with some cities accelerating (Amsterdam, Madrid), and/or seeing faster rises in employment and consumer spending.
“The Oxford Economics team carried out our macroeconomic port trade forecast out to 2050. The team was highly capable, worked with us closely, took on board feedback from internal and external stakeholders and we are very confident in the product. The Oxford Economics brand carries credibility in the market.”
“We were drawn to working with Oxford Economics for its solid reputation and the strength of its research, and we’ve been particularly impressed with your ability to present this to governments and the media – it’s the reason we’d look for future opportunities to work together.”
