LEI carries out economic and social research for governments, businesses and organisations. Our results offer a solid basis for policy and are accompanied by advice that is tailored to your own situation.
Our research relates to the green and blue spaces and to the entire food production chain. Besides economists and econometricians, LEI is staffed by public administration experts, marketing specialists, sociologists, ethics experts and ICT experts. We also have specific expertise in house on the agricultural sectors. A total of 295 researchers work at LEI. As we are part of Wageningen UR and work closely alongside our sister institutes, we are able to put together the perfect team for your assignment.
LEI has access to unique data and models. We not only supply data but we can also interpret them on the basis of a sound knowledge of the sector and the policy environment. Our analyses offer you strategic indications for policy.
We work for regional and national parties within the Netherlands and for the European Union. We are performing an increasing amount of research and consultancy in developing countries. We have experience in leading large-scale international projects involving a number of different public and/or private parties. However, we can also deliver smaller-scale tailored work. LEI is ISO 9000 certified.
