ABOUT THE EVENT

To meet the needs of New Zealand’s evolving policy landscape, effective economists, policy analysts and advisors are called on to consider a dynamic alignment of financial, human, social and natural capital in policy development, evaluation and implementation. An increased focus on measurement of effectiveness calls for greater clarity on policy purpose and more sophisticated economic and social evaluative architecture.

Across the board there is a mandate for more robust economic analysis in policy design and a commensurate strengthening of processes. This elite professional development event brings together economists and policy experts from across all levels of government to discuss key case studies, the latest trends, metric comparisons, data visualisation and upto- the-minute best practice in economic and evidence based policy.

Applying Economic Frameworks for Effective Policy Analysis and Development Summit 2015 is the premier skills and strategy development opportunity for policy practitioners and public sector economists to update their skill sets, connect on the latest issues and share practical insights. Refresh your knowledge and refine your skills at this not to be missed, specialist event!
