Economic Impact Analysis

Show the real impact of your event or project

The Center for Economic Forecasting and Development is a leading provider of economic impact studies and analysis. Our researchers specialize in illustrating the economic, fiscal, and social impacts that major sporting and entertainment events, public and private investments, public policies and programs, and institutions have on neighborhoods, cities, or any geographic area.

Using proprietary models that are based on careful, realistic methodology, we accurately quantify direct, indirect, and induced economic impacts related to job creation (direct and indirect), tax revenue (local, state, and federal), and household and individual income.

Demonstrating a project’s benefits and value through independent quantitative analysis can help garner support from a range of powerful constituencies including government decision makers, investors, the media, and the community at large.

Our Approach

COMPREHENSIVE STUDIES

We develop deeply comprehensive studies that identify economic, fiscal, and social impacts.

UNIQUE & HOLISTIC APPROACH

We include social impacts as part of a holistic and unique approach that captures and quantifies broader less obvious effects, such as the charity work performed by employees of a business or start ups and spin offs that result from an industry’s innovation and activities.

PROPRIETARY MODELS & ADVANCED METHODOLOGY

We employ proprietary models, apply quantifiable data, and use advanced scientific methodology to reveal economic value.
