We quantify your economic impact
Independent economic and fiscal impact studies for ports, airports, data centers, festivals, universities, pension systems and public agencies. We measure the jobs, income and tax revenue your organization supports, and deliver a report built to be presented to your board, legislators and the press. Proposals within 48 hours.
Independent economists, IMPLAN certified
Our economists have contributed to more than 100 impact studies, for clients including the Montana Department of Transportation, LACERA, Port San Antonio and Crowder College. Two of us are among the 42 economists listed in IMPLAN’s Certified Economist directory.
We have no financial stake in the results we report. Clients hire us because independent analysis carries more weight with legislators, boards and the press.
