KEY FEATURES:

Experience Support and Unlimited Access:

The IMPLAN team provides extensive online support, training-on-demand videos, and certification opportunities. With a single sign on for your entire institution, you can be confident that the right people have the right access at the right time.

Economic Impact Model:

Through the application of a regional input-output model, IMPLAN estimates the economic effects of existing industries, shocks to the local economy, and new developments. Decision makers from industry, government, and academics rely on these types of studies to make informed decisions about their local economies.

Thorough and Extensive Data:

Our data is sourced from the federal government, but with key value-added enhancements. We offer data at the national, state, and county level for all datasets, and zip code and US Congressional District data for some datasets. We publish our methodologies to ensure clarity and alignment.

Better Funding Opportunities:

Federal Grants, particularly those from the Department of Energy and USDA, are increasingly asking for estimates of economic impacts of projects in the application phase. Having IMPLAN available to researchers will increase their competitiveness for Federal funding.
