Cebr has a wealth of policy expertise stemming from our founder’s senior roles within government, at the CBI,
and the organisation now known as Business Europe. We provide a range of research and commentary regarding the economic impact of
policies, either potential, incoming, or current, and have a track record of shaping policy debates with our rigorous and independent analysis.
By working with Cebr, you get:
Providing evidence on the economic impact of reducing the maximum bet on a Fixed Odds Betting Terminal to £2 for Bacta. This research was quoted in government debates on the topic, which ultimately led to the proposal becoming law.
Writing a report and providing evidence to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Motoring to show that raising the fuel duty by 2p would cause economic harm at a time when the chancellor was rumoured to be considering this measure, leading to a freeze in duties at future fiscal events.
Estimating the economic impact of a flight cap at Schiphol Airport, which was key for the successful campaign to push the government to abandon the policy.
Estimating that the removal of tax-free shopping for tourists in the UK costs over £10bn in lost GDP per year. This has helped keep a potential policy change on the table, with Cebr’s work quoted in parliament. We have undertaken similar work in Canada and the Czech Republic.
Modelling the economic impacts of various fiscal policies, taking into account behavioural changes of individuals, for the Growth Commission.
Calculating the positive economic and social impact of investment in social housing.
