Services

 

Basel II Solutions
Our clients include 6 of the top 10 UK mortgage lenders*, for whom we have built and validated rating systems, developed economic stress text models and constructed Basel economic scenarios. The majority of our work has been within retail lending, covering both secured and unsecured lending.

 

Development and Planning
Our clients include Strutt & Parker, Arrowcroft, Land Securities, TfL and Crossrail. Our work in this field falls fairly evenly between public and private sector clients. Volterra provide economic analysis to support developers in achieving planning permission for their proposals. We produce Economic Impact Reports, Socio-Economic chapters of Environmental Statements, Regeneration Statements and other statements in support of planning applications.

 

Economic Scenarios and Forecasting

Our clients include the FSA and the Department of Health. Volterra's modelling capabilities allow us to simulate how social networks and different consumer preferences can impact upon the evolution of markets. This can inform government understanding of how policy should be directed or company choices of marketing strategies for new or existing products.

 

Networks and Agent Based Modelling
Combining network theory with agent-based modelling provides a rich analytical framework for understanding the dynamics of system change and the emergence of complex outcomes from the interaction of simple, local rules. Volterra specialises in this modelling approach and we have applied our techniques to a wide range of business and strategic problems.
