ConsultEcon Management & Economic Insight

Impact Evaluations describe how a development action or investment will affect an area's social and economic well being.  ConsultEcon has developed models for a wide variety of impact evaluations including economic impact evaluations, fiscal impact analyses, secondary (spin-off) impacts studies and community impacts and community benefits evaluations.  Many governments require economic impact studies for project approval and/or funding. 

 

Economic Impact Analysis

Economic Impact analysis estimates the direct and multiplier effects of an existing or new development project and its ongoing operation including expenditures, employment and earnings.  Secondary (spin-off) impacts studies consider the potential for a new development to spur nearby investment or revitalization.
