Center for Economic Information

Working closely with each client, we conduct economic analyses using research tools like IMPLAN, customized indices, and regional economic modeling to assist public, private, and non-profit organizations improve their decision-making. This can relate to project viability, economic impact, or ranking of alternatives, for example. Moreover, as residents of rural Oregon, we have a deep understanding of the opportunities and constraints facing rural economies.
