Impact Studies
Our analyses of direct, indirect and induced economic impact provide not merely facts and figures, but the context necessary to make them real and understandable to the reader. The concepts of indirect and induced impact are among the most widely used and poorly understood tools in economic analysis. Fundamentally they are based upon an extension of the direct expenditures by a business or industry and its patrons. Money spent is redistributed back into the economy in the form of wages, taxes and expenditures for goods and services.
We use the IMPLAN (IMpact Analysis for PLANing) economic model originally developed for the USDA Forest Service in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the USDI Bureau of Land Management. The IMPLAN model was developed at the University of Minnesota and is maintained by Minnesota IMPLAN Group in Stillwater, Minnesota. The IMPLAN model has been in use since 1979. The IMPLAN model accounts closely follow the accounting conventions used in the “Input-Output Study of the U.S. Economy” by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the rectangular format recommended by the United Nations.
KlasRobinson Q.E.D. also has extensive experience in analyzing the social impact of projects and industries on such factors as crime, addiction and social services where relevant.
