ECONOMIC CONSULTING GROUP

ECONOMIC CONSULTING GROUP is the kind of name that promises advisory work around business decisions, markets, planning, or public-policy economics, and that is about as far as the public picture goes. By our assessment, it sounds like a conventional consulting shop rather than a specialised product company, so its value would normally lie in analysis, reports, and client-facing advice. The strength of this sort of firm is the ability to turn messy questions into structured thinking; the weakness is that the output is hard to judge from the outside. In practice consulting often means presentations, meetings, models, and a lot of interpretation rather than anything visible on a shelf. Against larger strategy firms or academic economics groups, this sits in the broad middle and gives little away. The rating is restrained because the name is clear but the durable public substance is not.
