Financial proxies sit somewhere near the heart of social value, but how well do they really capture the outcomes that matter? And whose values are they built on?
In this webinar, Simetrica-Jacobs brings together leading thinkers from across economics, housing and social value to explore what proxies really tell us about the outcomes we care about, the trade-offs embedded within them, and how they translate the stories of our communities.
Featuring:
- Dr Allan Little, Director, Mission Economics
- Yulia Romaschenko, Technical Director, Social Value International
- Dr Frances Harkin, Head of Services, HACT
- Edward Dallas, Chief Economist, Simetrica-Jacobs
Together, they explore some of the key questions surrounding the future of financial proxies:
- How do financial proxies shape decisions and whose values do they reflect?
- Should proxies be consistent across sectors or responsive to local realities?
- What will make proxy use credible and meaningful in the years ahead?
If you work with financial proxies – or rely on them – this is a conversation for you!
