Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre

Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre

The historic partnership between Bankwest and Curtin University continues to benefit the local and national community. These two iconic WA organisations enhanced their long-term relationship with the launch of the Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre in 2012. The Centre, established through the generous support of Bankwest, is an independent economic and social research organisation located within the Curtin Business School with a core mission to undertake high quality, objective research on the key economic and social issues of relevance to Western Australia.

The Centre’s research and engagement activities are designed to influence economic and social policy debates in State and Federal Parliament, regional and national media, and the wider Australian community. Through high quality, evidence-based research and analysis, our research outcomes inform policy makers and commentators of the economic challenges to achieving sustainable and equitable growth and prosperity both in Western Australia and nationally.

The Centre capitalises on Curtin University’s reputation for excellence in economic modelling, forecasting, public policy research, trade and industrial economics and spatial sciences. Centre researchers have specific expertise in economic forecasting, quantitative modelling, microdata analysis and economic and social policy evaluation.
