International trade & investment
Our International Trade and Investment team analyse international trade and FDI flows and their interaction with different areas of trade policy, with a focus on customs arrangements and trade barriers. Recent projects have examined the impacts of trade and investment on the economy including the regional impacts of agricultural trade policy and analysis of policies that support exporting businesses, focussing on SMEs. The team uses cutting edge econometric modelling, as well as qualitative analysis tools such as literature reviews and case studies.

Advances in technology are a key source of economic growth and dynamism. London Economics’ work in this area covers AI, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Industry 4. 0, the Internet of Things (IoT), High-Performance Computing, Nuclear Fusion and Advanced Materials, amongst others. Data technologies and data markets represent another important area of focus, including the economics of data protection, international trade in data, data sharing between organisations, and data institutions. Our expertise in this area is underpinned by our practical know-how in advanced analytics and AI and our understanding of the economics of innovation and competition in dynamic technology markets.
