Vivid offers a comprehensive toolkit of market, regulatory and institutional measures
We have a proven track record of applying cutting-edge solutions to address market failures in the management of network utilities, natural resources, and environmental outcomes. Our work spans sectors such as energy, water, and land-use, and our clients include governments, utilities, investors and donors around the world. Our advice has assisted clients in reducing the cost of capital, securing resilience, promoting natural capital, and extending access to basic services to vulnerable groups. Our recommendations are always actionable and rooted in the local context.
We bring proprietary analytical frameworks that can be tailored to specific needs
Our expertise covers:
- Institutional design: where our insights in financial markets and mechanism design have informed policies to introduce competition in network sectors
- Market models: where natural capital valuation frameworks have been used to incentivise the provision of eco-system services
- Economic regulation: where our econometric modelling frameworks, including spatial models, have been used to set utility customer bills by estimating efficient costs
- Policy impact assessment: where our market and macroeconomic models have exposed the effects of reforms on sectoral profitability along value chains, consumer prices, and macroeconomic growth
- Investment planning: where our models to generate spatially explicit climate and socio economic scenarios have been used to plan the expansion of networks and generate adaptive resource management plans.
We have a leading track record of advising corporates, governments and international institutions on policy design and of assisting corporates on how to engage with the policy agenda
We have applied our extensive competitiveness toolkit for governments across the world. We leverage our cross sectoral knowledge base to design policy instruments which facilitate a broad-based transition towards sustainable growth and development. Our policy insights have also guided multinational companies to assess risks and opportunities so they can make informed investments in new and existing markets.
