Etla’s overall economic forecast for Finland is published twice a year. Industry-specific forecast is also published twice a year. In addition, Etla also forecasts the development of Finland’s greenhouse gas emissions and Finland’s cost competitiveness. A subscriber-based monthly publication is published 9 times a year.

Etla’s researchers have an expert role in the working groups of ministries and other entities. They also give statements, are consulted in parliamentary committees and make presentations at scientific seminars and other events.
Etla employs about 40 people. Most of the institute’s research staff have completed a doctoral degree in economics.
Operations are maintained by a support association, whose financing covers about a third of total costs. Each research project receives its own individual project fundings. Projects have been financed by organisations such as The Academy of Finland, Business Finland, the Government, various ministries, foundations and the European Commission.
Etla has two subsidiaries: project research unit Etlatieto Oy and Taloustieto Oy.
