Expertise: Resource & Environmental Economics

Northern Economics is the reliable choice for environmental and regulatory analysis.

More and more, resource management decisions are being made in the public’s view. Northern Economics’ consultants have the ability to present the complicated trade-offs inherent in resource economics in terms that the public understands. Equally important, they have a keen understanding of strategies and techniques used to examine sometimes ill-defined projects.

Northern Economics brings years of experience, topical expertise and numerous analytical tools to bear on decisions. From federal Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) to local stakeholder engagement and everything in between, Northern Economics’ staff has assisted clients with every scale of project. Through the course of our work, we have refined the ability to use time-tested tools like input-output and cost-benefit analysis while also integrating emerging tools such as benefits transfer-based ecosystem service valuation.
