IGEES members provide evidence-based analysis and outputs to inform the policy development process. The analysis takes different forms, with publications and reports developed on a range of public policy and expenditure topics.
Publications include Spending Reviews, Social Impact Assessments, ex-ante- and ex-post programme evaluations and macroeconomic forecasting among others, thereby feeding into the policy process at different stages.
IGEES publications have been prepared by members of IGEES and do not necessarily represent the policy positions of the relevant department, minister or the government.
IGEES publications, by category, department and area of policy focus, are available here.
In addition, IGEES provides regular platforms for policy discussion, knowledge brokerage and cross-government collaboration. These includes Strategic Policy Discussions (a discussion forum for IGEES research activities in specific policy areas), the IGEES annual conference and spending review conference, and sectoral policy seminars. IGEES members also participate in external conferences and seminars, including the Dublin Economics Workshop and Irish Economic Association annual conference.
The Young Economist of the Year (YEOTY) awards started in 2013 and aims to promote the subject of economics at second level through the development of a significant national award.
The award also hopes to highlight the fact that the study of economics provides significant opportunities for further study and career options.
IGEES have been involved in YEOTY since 2019 and the IGEES category seeks to encourage secondary school students to engage in projects which deal with topical policy issues (for example, housing, health) promoting the importance of policy analysis in the delivery of public services, and showcasing the potential of future career options in policy and economic analysis within the public service.
It’s also an opportunity to build diversity and equality within the public service by interesting a wide cohort in policy analysis at second level.
