Cambridge Economic Policy Associates (CEPA) is an international economic and financial policy advisory firm headquartered in London, United Kingdom. Founded in 2001, the firm specializes in advising public and private sector clients on matters where economics, finance, and public policy overlap. The firm operates global offices in Australia and India and is consistently ranked among the top economic consultancies in the United Kingdom.[2]
CEPA was founded by Keith Palmer (businessman) and David Newbery in 2001 as an economic consultancy business. The firm expanded over time to include an office in New Delhi in India in 2008 (now closed) and an office in Sydney in Australia in 2014. CEPA expanded from a UK economic consultancy into an international advisory firm with offices in London and Sydney, undertaking more than 1,200 projects for governments, regulators and infrastructure clients.
CEPA has advised regulators on economic regulation, competition policy, market design, cost of capital, infrastructure financing and public policy. There are several instances where CEPA work has become part of wider academic or policy discussion.
CEPA's Core Practice Areas are:
- Regulation and Competition: Advising state utilities and communications regulators, such as Ofcom and Ofwat, on economic frameworks and price controls. This includes work on behalf of telecoms regulators in relation to spectrum, in transport in relation to Clean Air Zones[3], reports on Contracts for Difference (CfDs) for the UK Government[4] and a variety of work across public policy.[5][6][7][8][9]
- Public Policy Strategy: Assessing government spending frameworks, including notable evaluations of the UK Treasury's Green Book appraisal process[10].
- Global Health: Designing impact measurement metrics for international healthcare organizations and NGOs, with analysis published in The Lancet[11][12][13].
The firm has been independently recognized within the consulting sector, appearing in The Financial Times ranking of leading management consultants[14], and achieving "diamond level" placement by Consultancy UK as a top-five economics consultancy[15]
