Input-Output Impact Analysis Tools

 
Besides using REMI and IMPLAN, the staff of EDR Group are highly experienced in using other economic impact models. These include:

 

-- US -- RIMS-II Regional Input-Output Multiplier System

-- US -- PC I-O Multi-Regional Input-Output Multiplier System

-- Canadian Input-Output Models

-- UK Input-Output Models

 

These various input-output modeling systems trace inter-industry flows of money for purchasing and sales of products and services, as well as consumer spending. They are customized for specific provinces or states, and used to assess the "ripple effects" or "multiplier effects" caused by increasing or decreasing spending in various parts of the economy. This is used primarily to assess the economic impacts of facilities or industries, or changes in their level of activity in a given area.

What We Can Accomplish: We provide three services for consultants, public agencies and private clients:

 
(1) Advice on framing analysis questions in the I-O model context, and then interpreting the results
(2) Ongoing support and training in use and interpretation of I-O models
(3) Full analysis studies using these various I-O models, including reports on findings

 

Our knowledge of the structural basis of I-O models, together with our on consulting experience in real-world applications issues and topics, ensures a robust and appropriate analysis that stands up to scrutiny.
