Economics and social research in DECC
Research and analysis at the heart of policy making
Economists, operational researchers, social researchers and customer insight specialists play a key role in the policy process, providing robust evidence to underpin appraisal and evaluation for all aspects of DECC policy. Our analysts work alongside policy colleagues, statisticians and scientists to ensure policy decision-making is informed by high-quality analysis and a robust evidence base.
This section outlines some of the work we do and explains its importance in developing a robust evidence base to inform policy decisions.
