Incorporating IMPLAN into Student Research

Guiding students through economic impact analysis can feel like a heavy lift, but bringing IMPLAN into their work is more straightforward than many faculty expect.

Watch our webinar to see how to fold IMPLAN into undergraduate theses, master’s projects, and doctoral research, giving students a rigorous, defensible framework for measuring economic impact that holds up.

Dr. Bridget Guerrero of West Texas A&M University draws on her experience advising students to show what incorporating IMPLAN looks like in practice.

During this session, we discussed:

• Why including IMPLAN in student work is more approachable than it seems.
• Where economic impact analysis fits across undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral research.
• Practical guidance for advising students through their first IMPLAN project, from framing the question to interpreting results.
