WHAT IS IMPLAN?
A rigorous way to trace how spending moves through a regional economy.
IMPLAN uses input-output analysis and a Social Accounting Matrix to estimate how spending by an institution, industry, or project ripples through a region. Its methods have been used by academic and government economists for decades, and are peer reviewed and widely published.
