Governmental Agencies
The Government Research Group within Decision Analyst conducts research studies for
federal, state, and local governments, and governmental agencies. The Government Research
Group conducts a wide range of research projects for governmental entities, including
advanced analytics, modeling, simulation, forecasting, optimization, database analytics,
analytical consulting, and scientific surveys.
What are the ultimate economic effects of a new museum, a new sports stadium, the
expansion of a zoo, the building of a new store, or the development of a new airport? What are
the contributions to the local economy from a university, a research and development center, a
business incubator, a book store, a local attraction, a new mass transit system, or a library?
The term “economic impact analysis” refers to rigorous surveys, research and modeling
to estimate the direct and indirect economic effects of an entity or event on the local, county,
state, or U.S. economy, as measured by employment, tax revenue, income, or gross product (overall
economic output).
