Every year, the work of our experts results in more than 200 reports, studies, and analyses. Most of them are published and available on our website.
Sometimes our work resonates and has a direct impact on the public agenda. At other times, it contributes more subtly to the making of superior decisions within a company, organisation, or courtroom.
Since 2006, shifting Danish governments have increased the thresholds for mandatory auditing for small firms to minimize the administrative burden.
In this study, we find that easing auditing requirements significantly increases the so-called tax gap (the difference between taxes paid and taxes owned).

Copenhagen Economics has together with the think-tank Bertelsmann Stiftung authored a study on the EU principle of subsidiarity and economic growth. The study is input to the initiative of the Austrian EU presidency of increased focus on subsidiarity. We find that to ensure inclusive growth and to deal with future challenges, the EU needs a renewed focus on the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. For example, in financial market regulation and the common Agriculture policy, some regulation could be better fitted for local regions. On the other hand, when creating world class digital infrastructure most value is added when acting on an EU-level.
