Economic methods: to understand the value of justice including economic and econometric analysis to investigate, quantify and monetise social and economic benefits and costs of different aspects of justice, and how the rule of law contributes to economic growth.

Background

To address evidence priorities set out in this ARI, we need to draw on a wide range of analytical and research methodologies, including the use of AI. We want to engage with researchers to enhance our scientific capability and explore how innovative methods can be applied to justice research and analysis.
