Economic Impact Analysis
Regional Economic Analysis
Regional economic modeling, economic contribution analyses, and economic impact analyses can all provide useful information to researchers, private firms, industry organizations, and policymakers for communication and decision making purposes. The EIAP has a long history of sponsored research projects as well as independent research collaborations that have resulted in a large portfolio of research outputs. Information about current projects as well as recent EIAP reports and academic publications that employ general regional economic analysis methods can be found on this page. Data visualizations associated with several projects are also available on the EIAP Data Platform. Outputs from past project can be accessed via the EIAP Research Archive.
