GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
We believe in using economics to create positive change. Through our pro-bono initiative, we offer expert analysis and insights to support charitable organisations in making informed, impactful decisions.
Pro-bono work
Copenhagen Economics is an expert-driven consulting company built on a deep knowledge of applied economics. We believe that sound economic analysis can equip decision-makers with the Hard Facts and Clear Stories necessary to make better choices for the benefit of society. This is the driving force behind every project we take on.
Through our pro-bono initiative, our established team of skilled economists is offering their professional services to charitable organisations as a way to tangibly give back to the community.
HOW WE CAN HELP
We envisage that, as economists, we can provide value to social impact organisations through:
Impact assessment or cost-benefit analyses to, for example, quantify the socioeconomic benefits of different initiatives
Understanding and analysing data to help organisations make more informed decisions
Effective communication of findings to policymakers or other stakeholders in an evidence-based, clear and compelling manner
DIVERSITY OF AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Our team is committed to helping cultivate a sustainable future for our societies and our planet.
You can get an overview of the areas we work in on our Services page. However, we are also open to requests for pro-bono work on any topic and would encourage you to reach out for an informal virtual coffee to introduce ourselves and brainstorm ideas together. If you have a task that is relevant to your charitable organisation that you feel we can assist with, please get in touch!
Past projects
Loneliness is an escalating issue in Denmark. Economists Without Borders, Copenhagen Economics, and Impactly have introduced Ensomhed i Tal (in English: Loneliness in Numbers), a tool designed to assist organisations in calculating the socioeconomic benefits of their initiatives.
New tool assesses the impact of initiatives against loneliness
Copenhagen Economics supported the Danish Guides and Scouts Association by reviewing studies on youth activities and recommending a robust methodology – valuation studies supplemented by focus studies – to help credibly demonstrate the societal value of scouting and guide their decision on commissioning a full impact study.
