Who are we?
Pellervo economic research PTT is an applied economics research institute. Our mission is to support Finnish decision-making by providing reliable research about the economy and its developments. Our strong fields of expertise are national economy, regional economy, agricultural and food economy, forestry and environmental economy and housing markets.
Currently one of our most important research themes is the climate change and its effects on the economy. We are also one of the leading Finnish research institutes applying the tools of behavioural economics.
Yearly, we publish dozens of research reports, policy briefs, economic forecasts and other publications for Finnish ministries, the prime minister’s office, cities and municipalities, and other organizations. We work in constant cooperation with other research institutes, universities, private companies and public officials. We strictly adhere to the ethical standards of scientific practice. Our economists and researchers are respected experts of their field, and they are regular commentators of economic topics for the news media, parliamentary committees and different stakeholders.
