  TAC is among the leading research institutions in the field of quantitative developments applied to economy and finance. Our expertise ranges from traditional econometric modelling (macroeconomic models, financial sector models, fiscal models, international trade models) to highly sophisticated neural networks or genetic algorithms, and includes as well the most advanced data-mining techniques (Self Organizing Maps or Kohonen networks, for instance) and all the recent non-traditional econometrics (Dynamic Panel Estimates, Error Correction models, probit-logit models, combinatorial models).

• Corporate and Financial Analysis
  
  TAC firmly believes in the strong relationship between macroeconomic performances, background and features, and many microeconomic, industry or corporate issues. TAC has developed a strong ability to produce high value added corporate and financial research, usually in connection with well-identified macroeconomic issues, be they trade and investment opportunities, competition and policy regimes, financial markets’ determinants or the international macroeconomic environment. Our top-down approach can be applied in four broad areas: industry-specific research, analysis of business segments behaviour and associated risks, corporate risk / credit risk research and financial advisory services.
