Common Uses
BEA can help to measure economic impacts in your area. BEA’s regional
input-output modeling system (RIMS) is widely used to analyze the economic
impact of projects and events on state and local areas. Public and private
analysts purchase RIMS estimates from BEA in order to measure these impacts
on jobs and labor-related earnings.
Some examples of projects include:
- Military base closings
- Airport or hospital expansions
- Policy changes or regulatory effects
- Shopping mall construction
- Power outages
- Tourism
