Behind every economic impact number is a set of decisions: what data to trust, how to model it, and how to turn the results into a case that stakeholders act on.
Watch as two experts show how they use IMPLAN to move from raw data to clear, credible impact studies that shape public policy, guide community development, and help organizations prove their value.
Dr. Deniz Gevrek of Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi shares how a university-based economic development center supports public, private, and community partners with economic and fiscal impact analysis. Nancy Bowen-Ellzey of Ohio State University Extension walks through the regional demographic and economic overview profiles her team has produced for communities across Ohio.
After the presentations, Eric Clower, IMPLAN’s Director of Education Services, led an open Q&A and discussion.
During this session, we discussed:
- Using IMPLAN to support public, private, and community partners, featuring the House of Rock study and work with the Port of Corpus Christi, Flour Bluff ISD, and community development projects.
- Turning jobs, labor income, GDP, output, and tax numbers into decision-relevant stories.
- Building regional Economic Overview profiles using IMPLAN’s Data Library, from population and income trends to Congressional District analysis.
- Real-world examples, including an energy industry contribution analysis, a university impact study, and business retention and expansion work.
