A thinktank like Niesr (National Institute of Economic and Social Research) conducts research and offers policy recommendations to governments and the public. They aim to influence economic debate and decision-making. Their analysis, like the prediction of prolonged inflation, provides independent scrutiny of official policy and forecasts.
