Cambridge Econometrics Celebrates 40 Years of Delivering Impactful and Independent Analysis
Cambridge Econometrics has reached an exciting new milestone in the history of the company, celebrating 40 years since it was founded in 1985 as a spin-off from the University of Cambridge to take on the pioneering work of Professor Sir Richard Stone, Nobel Laureate in Economics.
Marking the occasion at an event bringing together the consultancy’s four locations in the UK, Belgium, Hungary and the USA, Chair of Cambridge Econometrics Richard Lewney reflected on how transformative the last four decades have been , celebrating the values and ethics that remain core to Cambridge Econometrics’ approach:
The past 40 years have seen enormous changes in the scope of our expertise, the geographical coverage of our work and the sophistication of our tools. But some essential things haven’t changed: our commitment to support our clients with independent, evidence-based analysis and a workplace culture in which people doing that kind of work can flourish. I’m grateful to colleagues past and present who’ve helped to form us and transform us, making us the company that we are today.
Chair, Cambridge Econometrics
I am incredibly proud of the diverse impact that our team has achieved across some of the most pressing socio-economic and environmental policy challenges of our time. I want to especially thank our clients for trusting us with their most challenging issues, and our partners from whom we learn so much as we combine different expertise and the latest innovations to deliver valuable insights.
CEO, Cambridge Econometrics
Looking ahead to the next 40 years, Deputy CEO Jon Stenning considers the future policy challenges that the team at Cambridge Econometrics will help clients and partners to address:
Our work is driven by the conviction that better economics, data and analysis inform better decision-making. The world is facing increasingly complex challenges over the next 40 years including decarbonising our economies, the rising use of AI and ever-evolving geopolitics. I am confident that our team will continue to support our clients and partners in addressing these challenges, delivering the highest quality analysis to inform critical strategic and policy decision-making across the globe.
