• Economic Analysis

  Regional economic modeling, economic impact analyses, and economic contribution analyses can all provide useful information to both private firms and industry organizations for purposes of firm/industry assessment and advocacy.  Specifically, the Economic Impact Analysis Program can provide expertise in the following areas:

  • regional economic modeling and analysis at the county, state, or national level
  • economic contribution or impact analysis of industry activity, commodity production, government regulations or policies, new technologies, and industrial or community development projects
  • evaluation of economic linkages among industries, institutions, and households
  • forecasting the effects of market or policy changes
  • business analysis and budgeting for agricultural and natural resource operations
• Survey Research

  Often in collaboration with the Florida Agricultural Market Research Center or the Florida Survey Research Center, the Economic Impact Analysis Program offers survey research services including:

  • survey questionnaire and statistical sampling design
  • mail and telephone survey implementation and analysis
  • measurement of industry or commodity output, imports/exports, employment, value added and inputs purchased
  • profiling of industry or market structure, production, and marketing practices
  • measurement of consumer expenditures, consumption and purchasing patterns
  • assessment of producer or consumer opinions, preferences and expectations
  • valuation of non-market or non-monetary goods, services, and natural resources
• General Services

  The Economics Impact Analysis Program also offered public presentations, academic seminars, and training programs on a variety of topics.
