Summer 2025 Industry Projects
Hymans Robertson - Inflation Risk Modelling
Industry Supervisor
Joseph Meagher
​Risk and Modelling Consultant
Economic scenario generators like Hymans’ proprietary Economic Scenario service (ESS) offer a simulation-based tool for risk management. By simulating a joint distribution of key economic and financial variables, they allow us to assess and manage financial risk in the insurance and pensions industries. Statistical models for inflation lie at the heart of most economic scenario generators.
When modelling inflation rates, we distinguish between implied and realised inflation. Implied inflation is a forward-looking metric which can be thought of as expected inflation.

GeoCapita - Modelling the Economic and company-level financial impacts of extreme weather events
Industry Supervisor
​
Douglas Prentice
CEO
The cost of extreme weather events are critical in macroeconomic planning, in several financial markets and in environmental markets. Accurately forecasting these is thus of great importance at both an economic and company level.
Our project proposal would be to produce a simple financial integrated model of financial impacts on companies' costs, profits/losses, earnings, EPS, enterprise value caused by extreme weather events such as wildfires, floods, hurricanes, storms, tides.
