State and Local Public Policy and Finance Analysis
State and local governments are increasingly confronted with difficult choices regarding the provision of public services, school funding, tax policies, and public infrastructure and human capital investment. As business and households become ever more mobile, Econsult's State and Local Policy and Finance Group is uniquely qualified to help state and local governments develop strategies to efficiently deliver public services demanded by residents, develop tax revenue streams that are fair and impose the least distortion to the private economy, and make the investments necessary — in both bricks-and-mortar and people — to ensure state or locality's future competitiveness. Just as importantly, the Group can help private entities seeking to participate in the policy process and businesses seeking to optimize in the context of changing public policies.

Project and Program Evaluation
In an increasingly competitive landscape in terms of government and charitable dollars, there is all the more emphasis on third-party evaluations of projects and programs that are sound, analytical, and compelling. Econsult assists government agencies, non-profit organizations, and other advocates in properly evaluating their initiatives. Such evaluations serve a two-fold purpose: internally, they can be used to divine any strengths that should be extended and any weaknesses that should be addressed, and externally, they can be used to justify past funding and compete for future funding.
