Taking its name from the Peregrine falcon, Peregrine Economics seeks to emulate the falcon’s qualities, including precision, swiftness, elegance and persistence.

Peregrine Economics represents the economic analytical work undertaken by River Consulting.

Our focus is on applying economic theory to current issues such as natural resource management, conservation, pollution abatement, community and individual welfare, and generating new insights.

Our research provides clients with results that are easy to interpret yet robust. It is of a standard that meets peer review standards in academic journals and conferences.

Topics include:

• Market based incentives, e.g. payments for environmental services, conservation tenders, debt-for-conservation swaps
  
• Use and non-use values, e.g. recreational fishing, marine resources
  
• Policy evaluation, e.g. review of the Sugar Industry Reform Programme
• Models of economic welfare, e.g. community wellbeing

We specialize in remote and regional area applications. Our research is innovative and focused on the collection of raw data and engagement with the “grassroots”.
