Economic & Fiscal Impact

MFA has extensive experience in preparing economic and fiscal impact studies, or economic contribution studies, for a variety of clients. Economic and fiscal impact studies measure the effect of a business, organization, industry, or event on the local, regional, or state economy. These studies provide critical information for business firms, trade associations, governments, planners, economic development agencies, chambers of commerce, service organizations, policy-makers, and public interest groups. MFA’s studies provide specific analyses and conclusions with respect to several important factors:

• The number of jobs created, both directly and indirectly
• The amount of state tax revenue generated
• The overall economic impact

Our analyses can also allocate sales, visits and other measures of performance to specific political jurisdictions, communities, or zip codes to document specific impact in other ways.  Clients include local and state governments, as well as companies ranging from small non-profit organizations to large international corporations.
