Welfare economics and services 

Welfare systems worldwide are seeing drastic changes. Citizens require improved and more efficient services without paying higher taxes. All levels of government are looking for value for money.

Efficient use of resources

Central government as well as regional and local authorities forcus on the efficient use of available resources. Local authorities are under pressure to improve and widen the scope of the services they provide. This means that many authorities are under constant pressure to be innovative.

Competition, liberalisation and public-private partnerships are just a few of the many solutions that are being introduced.
COWI has extensive experience in assisting authorities with advice, expertise, analyses, planning, evaluations and studies.

Decision platform

Economic analyses are one of the tools employed by the authorities to obtain a solid decision platform in the field of welfare economics.

We are market leaders and work with economic analyses in a number of sectors, including health, air transport and utilities.
