            Education Economics
            Education contains numerous inclusion related measures and is a pillar of any social welfare programme. Economic Thinkers model the impact of different inclusion measures within the education sector with a view of understanding the efficiency of expenditure in these areas in relation to expected outcomes and international benchmarks of performance.

            Social Benefits and Pensions
            Sustainability of social benefits is important for both the beneficiaries who cannot do without benefits, as well as for those whose productivity must afford such benefits. We specialise in the analysis of different policies for sustainable social benefits.

            Housing 
            Housing forms an essential component of a person or family unit disposable income. This is why the impact of housing policies including rent reform analysis is crucial to determine the level of access to adequate housing, the impact on disposable income different housing market structures have, and essential policies necessary to address market imperfections.

            Income distribution analysis integrated with other research is one of the key areas of research at Economic Thinkers. Determination of absolute and relative poverty levels, poverty traps, poverty measurement and statistical sources, as well as integrated policies to combat social exclusion, bring all dimensions mentioned above together under this area of research.
