Economic Impact
Analysis, Cost Benefit Studies & Market Assessment
ACIL Tasman provides
economic and market impact analysis, as well as
strategic and policy advice, to corporate and government
clients on a range of issues. Our consultants have
undertaken a wide range of cost benefit and impact
analyses covering a wide variety of industries and
sectors. ACIL Tasman has used a range of methodologies
in undertaking these studies including, traditional
cost benefit analysis, case studies, general equilibrium
analysis and real options analysis. Projects include:
• Development and application
of a real options impact valuation framework for
CSIRO research and development. The framework was
used to value the research undertaken by CSIRO’s
Water for a Healthy Country, Preventative Health
and Light Metals Flagships as well as a number of
other areas of CSIRO research including robotic
mining and the commercialisation of a novel polymer.
