Economics, enhanced
We combine cutting-edge data science with economic expertise to turn data into insight.
Consumers, businesses and governments are generating data at an unprecedented scale. Tools like machine learning, generative AI and cloud computing are also evolving rapidly.
Our team of expert data scientists works with our economists to unlock the potential of this new world, enhancing economic expertise through the power of data science, machine learning and AI.
We work on innovative projects, delivering new insight and helping our clients maximise the value of their data.
Causal inference through machine learning
Understanding the impact of actions is central to economic analysis. We use cutting-edge machine learning techniques to explore cause-and-effect relationships in complex systems. These methods enhance traditional econometric models, allowing for deeper insights and more accurate predictions.
Behavioural insight through data
At Frontier, we merge behavioural economics with data science to better understand human decision making. Through techniques like propensity modelling and agent-based simulations, we provide clients with an enriched understanding of customer behaviour, enabling more effective strategies.
See more here about how Frontier Economics used machine learning and behavioural economics to understand the impact of the Covid pandemic on domestic energy consumption.
Generative AI
Our expertise in Generative AI and natural language processing (NLP) allows us to distil vast amounts of text into quantitative insight. We use these tools to analyse human language – from reports, documents, social media and more – and extract important economic insights, in a fraction of the time it would take to do manually.
Geospatial data science
By combining geospatial data with advanced modelling techniques, we create detailed maps of economic activity. Whether it’s optimising logistics networks or evaluating competitive landscapes, our geospatial capabilities help clients uncover hidden patterns and opportunities.

Big data engineering
We possess the skills and technology to handle the massive volumes of data generated today. Our team specialises in data wrangling, linking structured and unstructured datasets, and processing data in both public and private cloud environments. We ensure that our clients’ data is ready for analysis, no matter the size and complexity.

Data visualisation and dashboards
Effective data visualisation isn’t just creating pictures, it’s about amplifying our ability to understand. We use tools ranging from simple charts to interactive dashboards, ensuring that insights are no longer buried in data but are immediately accessible for decision making.
See here for how we built an interactive dashboard that is embedded in the website of our client, Logistics UK.
