Superior economic analysis can play a critical role in environmental litigation, regulatory proceedings, and strategic decision-making.

Analysis Group's Environmental Economics practice draws on a network of leading academic affiliates that includes nationally recognized environmental economists. Our expertise in environmental economics is complemented by skills in areas such as finance, industrial organization, and health care. Such knowledge is particularly useful in environmental matters, as successful analyses often rely on analytical tools and economic expertise beyond the traditional scope of environmental economics. Finally, our staff and affiliates bring extensive prior experience with state and federal regulatory agencies, providing a unique perspective on how economic analysis can influence the outcome of the regulatory process.

Our environmental economics services include support in:

Litigation and Settlement

In litigation, issues such as the valuation of environmental damages, the financial benefits and risks of non-compliance, and the economic implications of environmental regulations, are often in question.

Corporate Compliance and Decision-Making

In corporate settings, as environmental laws and regulations increasingly employ market-based mechanisms, attention focuses on the economic implications of alternative regulatory structures.

Regulation and Policymaking

In finalizing regulations or permits, regulators often consider cost and the relationship between costs and benefits.
