On Saturday 22 April, Economic Insight will be inflating our footballs and supplying our best talent in the inaugural “Economics All-Stars Cup” (a 16-team football tournament at Powerleague Shoreditch). This tournament has been co-organised with NERA Economic Consulting – with thanks to one of our consultants David Sookias and NERA consultant James Thomas for this.
The rate of interest has been high and a wide range of both consultancies and regulators will be competing in the tournament, specifically: AlixPartners, Berkeley Research Group LLC, Charles River Associates, Competition and Markets Authority, Compass Lexecon, Deloitte, DotEcon Ltd, Economic Insight, Financial Conduct Authority, Frontier Economics, Grant Thornton UK LLP, NERA Economic Consulting, PwC UK and RBB Economics.
Beyond the competitive fun, the tournament will have a keen charity focus, with players and/or companies encouraged to make a donation to one of a shortlist of charities.
Best of luck to all teams involved and may the invisible hand be ever in your favour!
