Economic
Impact Analysis
AEG
is expert at measuring the total employment, sales, and income that
an industry or large corporation creates and presenting this information
by state, county, or legislative district. In addition, we calculate
the state and local tax revenue derived from all aspects of a company's
or industry's operations and from its workers' spending. Our exclusive
BriefingsNet calculators translate this information into effective,
easy-to-understand reports. Our materials have been used to lobby decision
makers in matters ranging into the billions of dollars at both the federal
and state levels.
