It is responsible for bespoke consultancy projects which usually run between one and six months and end with a report, forecasts and/or presentation for our clients.

As well as the implementation of quantitative models such as econometric analysis or scenario analysis using the GEM. Examples of recent projects include: 1) The effects of the EU's climate policy on Finland's macroeconomics for Akava Works and 2) Understanding the importance of a rapid action plan to fight climate change in Italy for ASviS . The position holder will report to the Director for Climate Modelling and Scenarios.
