Founded in 2019, Ethos Lab is a forward-thinking research and consulting firm dedicated to advancing social welfare and sustainable development. Our mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge econometric research, behavioural insights, and real-world applications to create lasting impact for both the public and private sectors.
At Ethos Lab, we specialize in three core areas:
- Innovative Research and Development: Leveraging applied econometrics and data analytics, we design policy solutions that drive social welfare, addressing today’s most pressing economic challenges.
- Behavioural Insights for Public Policy: We apply psychological and behavioural science principles to shape more effective public policies, helping governments and institutions create evidence-based strategies that work for people.
- Sustainable Business Transformation: We partner with companies to integrate behavioural insights and data analytics into their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks, guiding them towards responsible and ethical growth.
At Ethos Lab, we believe in the power of data-driven solutions and behavioural insights to solve complex problems, improve decision-making, and promote a more equitable and sustainable world.
