Welcome to Independent Economics
"Econtech Pty Ltd, which was established in 1994, has entered a new phase and has adopted Independent Economics
as its trading name. This follows the successful completion in June 2011 of a 3-year contract with KPMG. In this new phase of
our history, we are
once again an unaffiliated, boutique economic modelling practice."
Chris Murphy, Director, Independent Economics.
Independent Economics is an independent provider of economic modelling services.
We assist clients in Australia and internationally through model-informed economic policy analysis and
forecasting.
For some clients we provide reports on modelling that we undertake, while for others we develop and support models that they use themselves.
We model entire economies as well as particular markets, industries or regions. We are strongly committed to independent economic modelling that provides
robust analysis and real solutions to meet client needs. In Australia, we provide services to
government and
industry, and we also provide services
internationally.
Chris Murphy, who is a well known modeller, policy analyst and forecaster, is
the Director of Independent. Chris and the rest of the Independent team
have developed a suite of Independent Australian economic models. These new policy and forecasting models have
already been used to quantify the benefits of improved construction industry productivity, to analyse options for sharing GST revenue between
the states, and to provide timely economic forecasts. We are looking for new team members as we expand. Internationally, we
have developed models for the Governments of Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Micronesia and Abu Dhabi.
