Economic Impact Assessment

Economic Impact Assessement

Research at local, regional, and national levels


Assessing the economic impacts of proposed or actual public sector investments is one of our major areas of work. Our assessments use a range of sources. These can include business plans, interviews with project officers and funding applicants, surveys of beneficiaries and other stakeholders, and secondary data and reports.

The measures used to assess economic impacts include employment, income and GVA. We have extensive experience of calculating impacts at the local, regional and national levels, including the appropriate use of multipliers. A key element of the work is the assessment of net additional economic impacts: that is, the impacts attributable to the public sector intervention.
