Context 1600 economists currently work across 30 government departments and agencies 2000 lawyers currently work across 30 government department and agencies Parliament produces Acts each session + there are 1000 Statutory instruments - each has to be accompanied by an impact assessment

Impact Assessment????

An Impact Assessment is: a continuous process to help the policy-maker fully think through and understand the consequences of possible and actual Government interventions in the public, private and third sectors; and a tool to enable the Government to weigh and present the relevant evidence on the positive and negative effects of such interventions, including by reviewing the impact of policies after they have been implemented.

Higher education intervention The introduction of a new cross disciplinary module to address identified deficiencies in the economist-lawyer work relationship.

Deficiencies????

Problematic areas Understanding of economic concepts – Costs and benefits; transfers; distributional effects Awareness of information sources – ONS statistics; Research centres Understanding of legal principles – Structure of the legal system; procedural highlights Methodological divergence – Law focus on the specific, economics – the general

Joint civil service-academia?

A lawyer who has not studied economics is very apt to become…. a public enemy. Justice Brandeis (1916)
