South Australian Centre for Economic StudiesThe
South Australian Centre for Economic Studies is a self-funding, joint
research unit of the University of Adelaide and the Flinders University
of South Australia. It was established in 1982 with a principal
role to review, research and report on economic and public policy
issues of relevance to the South Australian and Australian
economies. In recent years the Centre has expanded its scope of
operations to also undertake economic studies outside Australia,
including in New Zealand, China, Indonesia and other countries of the
Asia Pacific region. To achieve its role, the Centre engages in the
following activities:
- a Corporate Membership program, which includes the regular provision
to Members of Economic Briefing Reports with a detailed assessment of
economic conditions and the outlook for Australia and South Australia;
and
- Economic Consulting Services, involving the
provision of specialist economic research and advice on a
fee-for-service basis to both private sector and government clients.
The Centre has a core group of in-house Research Staff, and Support
Staff. In addition, the Centre draws on a number of Research
Associates who work with the Centre on an ad hoc basis on specific
research topics. In undertaking commissioned research and
consultancies, and in providing Economic Briefings to Corporate
Members, the Centre also draws on the teaching staff of the economics
and related disciplines of the two Universities on a contracted
basis.
