Designing Competitive but Compliant IP and Incentive Regimes in Small Open Economies

November 28, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Small open economies – including many in the Caribbean – have long relied on tax incentives and preferential regimes to attract investment, especially in finance, technology, and other intangible-rich sectors.

From Demographics to Demand: The Dawgen Customer Shift Engine™

November 22, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Demographics don’t just describe your market—they move it. Population age, migration flows, household formation, urbanization, income dispersion, digital adoption, and sector labor shifts all change who buys, how they buy, what they can afford, and which outcomes they will pay extra to guarantee.

November 19, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Relief, Recovery – and the Need for High-Quality Reporting Hurricane Melissa has pushed Jamaica’s social and economic systems to their limits.
