HOMELAND SECURITY

Econometrica applies its analytical and technical capabilities to a variety of areas related to homeland security. Risk assessment, risk management, cost-benefit analysis, and cost-effectiveness issues. We have in-depth knowledge of administrative procedures and exemptions, data quality issues, and baseline problems that accompany policymaking to address terrorist threats. Our economists evaluate procedures and methodologies used in the regulatory analyses that accompany rules issued by the Department of Homeland Security. We develop market studies for conducting regulatory analyses of mandatory security requirements applicable to various industries. Our expertise extends to maritime security, including security for vessels, facilities, and ports.
