Economic Impact Analysis

Economic development boards, state governments, and municipalities are routinely faced with complex recruitment and retention investment decisions. How much monetary incentive should be provided through tax abatements, employee training, or infrastructure to attract a new manufacturing concern to a region? What costs will a municipality incur, such as declining property values and subsequent tax base erosion, if a local company moves its production facility ‘off-shore’. With our integrated portfolio of state-of-the-art input-output (IO) models, computable general equilibrium (CGE) models, and geographical information systems (GIS), Vickner Economics can help you quantify economic impacts in terms of jobs, sales, and value-added as well as help you visualize the spatial dispersion of those impacts across your region.
