Corr Analytics was founded in 2013 by Dr. Anders Corr, who also founded the Journal of Political Risk, a publication the firm produces. Before founding the company, Dr. Corr deployed to Afghanistan and led the Social Science Research and Analysis (SSRA) group, which oversaw 600 Afghan contract employees on 44 survey projects, including Afghanistan-wide surveys on reintegration, women, and transition from international to Afghan governance, as well as predictive analysis of stability, insurgent attacks, and public opinion of governance at the district level. The firm draws on a network of over a dozen associates with country and sector expertise spanning China, Hong Kong, Mongolia, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, the Philippines, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, the Baltics, Macedonia, Greece, Italy, Ethiopia, and Sudan/South Sudan. The company's Advisory Board consists of Brazilian business school professor Evodio Kaltenecker (MBA, Harvard Business School), US Army Colonel Laurence Mixon (BS, West Point; MA, Air War College), and University of South Africa law professor Jeremy Sarkin (LLM, Harvard Law School). Corr Analytics states that it has been featured in news coverage by outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Institutional Investor, Bloomberg, Business Week, New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and UPI. It also maintains a pro bono practice on issues such as human rights and assists clients with corporate responsibility and socially responsible investing and sourcing, using quantitative and qualitative data on corruption, democracy and environmental practices as well as network analysis of political and influence networks.

Corr Analytics Inc. was founded in 2013 by Dr. Anders Corr, who also founded the Journal of Political Risk in the same year. The firm was established as a New York-based political risk analysis company serving government and business clients, with a focus on strategic and international political risk. Its founding capabilities were shaped in part by Dr. Corr's prior field experience: before founding the company he deployed to Afghanistan and led the Social Science Research and Analysis (SSRA) group, which oversaw 600 Afghan contract employees on 44 survey projects. Those projects included Afghanistan-wide surveys on reintegration, women, and transition from international to Afghan governance, alongside predictive analysis of stability, insurgent attacks, and public opinion of governance at the district unit of analysis. That effort involved methodological leadership of a team that compiled and analyzed what the company describes as the largest database of public opinion and war data in Afghanistan appropriate for causal inference. From that base, Corr Analytics built a service model organized around combining quantitative political risk metrics with qualitative business intelligence and comparative tax, corruption and regulatory risk analysis. Its stated methodological toolkit includes statistics, surveys, modeling, simulation, prediction, and causal inference, as well as qualitative field research strategies. Over time the firm assembled a network of over a dozen associates with country and sector expertise across Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and Africa — including China, Hong Kong, Mongolia, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, the Philippines, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, the Baltics, Macedonia, Greece, Italy, Ethiopia, and Sudan/South Sudan. The company also developed a public-facing publishing arm through the Journal of Political Risk, which carries articles by Dr. Corr and other contributors on topics such as sanctions legislation, nuclear proliferation, and industrial policy. Corr Analytics states that it and its Journal of Political Risk have been featured in coverage by The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Institutional Investor, Bloomberg, Business Week, New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and UPI. It maintains an Advisory Board comprising Brazilian business school professor Evodio Kaltenecker, US Army Colonel Laurence Mixon, and University of South Africa law professor Jeremy Sarkin. The firm also operates a pro bono practice on issues such as human rights and assists clients with corporate responsibility and socially responsible investing and sourcing, applying quantitative and qualitative data on corruption, democracy and environmental practices together with network analysis of political and influence networks.
