Liveability In Focus
Beating the heat
Addressing urban heat requires integrated planning, economics and quantifying the value of urban cooling.
We apply economics to markets, organisations, regulation and policies.
We do this to help our clients make the best decisions.
Frontier Economics is an economic consulting firm helping clients with their biggest challenges.
We work with clients on market strategies, regulatory reviews and competition inquiries. We design innovative policies and regulatory systems for governments and evaluate their performance.
We have a strong history in Australia and an increasing presence in Asia. For over 20 years, Frontier Economics has provided independent, rigorous economic advice to assist our clients in diverse markets and regions.
From offices in Australia and Singapore, we advise across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific and we continue to do so during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Expertise
When you work with us we build a team tailored for you, with the skills and expertise you need, whatever the discipline or sector.
Sectors
We help our clients analyse and understand their circumstances and critical issues. Sometimes this requires an in-depth knowledge of a particular market. Our economists have specific sector knowledge to help clients find the best solutions.
Disciplines
Our practices are centres of expertise, not silos. Our economists have a variety of experience but the same commitment to using strong economic frameworks to address client needs.
In Focus
Take a deeper look at complex topics. As always, we use an economic lens to explore and discuss some of the issues within these multi-layered areas.
