The Methods and Their Functions
GWS applies a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods, which are used either individually or in combination, depending on specific needs. One focus is on quantitative analysis, where we favour a macro-econometric, input-output-based modelling approach. Following a bottom-up approach, the macroeconomic development results from what happens in single economic sectors of the economy. To gain background knowledge, additional qualitative methods are used in many studies.
Our longstanding experiences in model-based analysis and policy advice are passed on to our knowledge to clients. One focus of our "capacity building" lies in the knowledge transfer of the development and application of Excel-based models.
