Cardno ENTRIX Economics Practice

With over 20 economists on staff, Cardno ENTRIX houses one of the country’s largest agricultural and natural resource economics practices in the private sector.  This expertise is integrated across all Cardno ENTRIX business lines—water resources management, natural resources management, permitting & compliance and environmental and natural resource liability management.  Our economists regularly work on multidisciplinary teams, providing services such as cost-benefit and regulatory analyses of rule changes and governmental actions at all levels.  We also have extensive litigation experience, providing expert analysis and testimony at hearings to document the economic impact of regulations and other concerns for various environmental disputes and settlement proceedings.

At Cardno ENTRIX, our goal is to integrate economic principles with complex biological and social systems to identify sustainable solutions that are practical, ecologically sound, and cost-effective for our clients.  To accomplish this, we combine an in-depth understanding of environmental and natural resource management policies with a broad range of economic analysis capabilities.  The team has the technical and practical expertise in measuring the value of assets and liabilities, which typically do not have a market price.  These valuations ultimately help clients determine the financial, social, and economic effects and tradeoffs among different natural resource strategies and environmental regulations.
