Know the impact of your business activities or project.

 

WRI uses a range of methodologies to build a detailed picture of the structure of an economy or industry, including Demographic and Labour Market Analysis, Economic Impact (Input-Output) Analysis, Cost-Benefit Analysis, Cashflow Modelling and Location Quotient Analysis.

 

This allows us to accurately measure a range of impact of your business or project on a region, and help you to compare different projects to prioritise investment.  WRI's research has been used to:

 

• evaluate the economic impact of one-off events or activities such as a tourism event, the construction of a factory or delivery of a new University program

• examine ongoing activities such as business operations

• explore the effect of downturns and boom times on the community

• assess the level of outshopping from the community

• compare the impact that different investments will have on jobs and economic activity in a local community

• understand the true contribution of different industries, or groups of industries, to employment creation and growth

• understand the impact on human capital and skills in a region from education and training

• evaluating research impacts on economic and social development in a region

• evaluate the impact of environmental issues
