Core Services
1. Impact Analysis
OpenEconomics specializes in Impact Analysis (IA), a robust methodology that estimates the economic, social, and environmental effects of policies or spending programs.
IA extends traditional cost-benefit analysis by incorporating a broad range of externalities, including services from natural and human capital.
The firm has developed a library of macroeconomic models covering over 150 regions, using Social Accounting Matrices (SAM), Partial Equilibrium Models (PEM), Computable General Equilibrium Models (CGE), and Econometric Models (EM).
2. Economic and Financial Analysis
The team conducts in-depth cost-benefit analyses, financial risk assessments (including ESG ratings), and real options analysis to evaluate investment viability, especially under uncertainty and market volatility.
OpenEconomics supports decision-making for both public and private sector clients, optimizing risk-return trade-offs and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and reporting frameworks.
3. Sustainable Finance and Public Funding
The company assists enterprises in designing investment strategies that maximize access to subsidies and sustainable finance, blending public and private capital for projects in energy transition, circular economy, and inclusive growth.
Services include strategic guidance, feasibility assessments, project proposal drafting, financial modeling, and full compliance with European and national regulations.
OpenEconomics also manages the entire funding process, from arrangement to compliance, leveraging its proprietary digital platform, OpenRep, for efficient reporting and audit support.
4. Digital Platforms and Innovation
OpenEconomics has developed Externalytics, a proprietary platform supporting legislators and investors in simulating decision-making scenarios, ESG ratings, SROI, and impact analysis.
The firm is committed to integrating AI and machine learning technologies to enhance data retrieval, scenario modeling, and impact evaluation.
