Equinox Policy App
Information about the Equinox Policy App and Data module which helps collect and work with portfolio-wide policy data. The App is an interactive, visual web application (dashboard) embedded in Equinox.
Portfolio Policies are an important component of modern portfolio management. Having an overview of applicable policies, how they evolved over time and what impact they have is not trivial. The Equinox Policy app aims to help with associated tasks.
What do we mean by Policy Data?
Policy data are generated in a wide range of situations, by different entities (governments / other institutions), using varying types of controls (policy options or variables).
About the Equinox Policy App
Equinox incorporates a module focusing on capturing, processing and working with portfolio-wide policy data.
Policy data that currently supported are:
- Oxford’s Global COVID Policy Database
- OECD’s Climate Actions and Policies’ Database
The app serves several purposes:
- Makes raw policy data easily available online
- Allows the exploration of statistical properties and associations with portfolio data
In practice the Policy Explorer module
- retrieves policy data from various sources
- integrates them in a uniform interface and
- provides data views, visualizations and, where applicable, modelling functionality.
NOTE: Equinox is still in active development. As the functionality of the platform is enhanced, further sources of open data will be integrated where appropriate.
