PROSERIS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Show what a project brings to the region it lands in.
A development case is rarely won on the project itself. It is won on what the project does to the surrounding economy — the jobs beyond the ones it hires directly, the output across supplying industries, the income that stays in the community. PROSERIS estimates all of it, year by year and sector by sector, on the same REMI PI+ engine behind REMI’s published impact studies.
How economic developers use PROSERIS
Four analyses the platform is built for. All four run through the same guided setup and return the same set of deliverables.
Project impact assessments
Measure what a proposed development does to the regional economy — a mixed-use scheme, an industrial facility, a logistics site, a public-private project. Construction and ongoing operations enter as separate inputs, so the temporary build-out effect and the permanent effect of the finished asset are reported separately rather than blended into one number.
Why PROSERIS helpsThe REMI core model is dynamic. It accounts for how population, prices, investment, and government spending respond each year, so results show an impact building and settling over time instead of a single static multiplier applied once.
Job creation, income, and revenue effects
Report direct, indirect, and induced employment for the region and over time, alongside the personal income, output, and state and local revenue that come with it. Results break out by industry, so a claim about jobs can name the sectors they land in rather than resting on a single headline count.
Why PROSERIS helpsDirect hiring is the number a project already knows. The supplier effects around it are the part that needs a model, and they are usually the larger share of the total.
Community benefit documentation
Produce the economic evidence an approval process asks for. The platform exports Excel data, a PowerPoint deck, a Word report, and a one-page summary from the same run, so the technical appendix and the version that goes in front of a public meeting come from one analysis rather than two.
Why PROSERIS helpsInputs, assumptions, and method are documented and the run is repeatable, which is what matters when a reviewer, an objector, or a lender asks where a figure came from.
Comparing project alternatives
Model several versions of the same project — different scales, phasing, sites, or programme mixes — and compare them against a baseline in which nothing is built. Scenarios are entered as changes to nine policy variables, with data covering 50 states, 3,000 counties, and 194 MSAs.
Why PROSERIS helpsAlternatives can be built and compared in one sitting, so a design or siting decision can be argued from modelled options rather than a preferred scheme and an assertion about the others.
Why economic developers choose PROSERIS
- A transparent, documented method a reviewer or a lender can follow and check
- Direct, indirect, and induced effects, not just the jobs the project hires itself
- Industry and regional detail, so a claim can name where the effects land
- Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and one-page deliverables exported from the same run
- Fast enough for a financing or approval deadline, without commissioning a study
