PROSERIS FOR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
Model what a policy does before it takes effect.
Public decisions have to be defended before they are made, not after. PROSERIS estimates what a policy proposal, a capital project, or an incentive package does to jobs, output, income, and population — year by year, for the region it actually lands in — on the same REMI PI+ engine behind REMI’s published impact studies.
How government agencies use PROSERIS
Four analyses the platform is built for. All four run through the same guided setup and return the same set of deliverables.
Policy impact analysis
Estimate what proposed legislation or a change in policy does to the regional economy before it is enacted. A scenario is entered as a change to one or more of nine policy variables — among them compensation, employment, demand, investment spending, and output — and the model returns the effect on jobs, GDP, personal income, and population against a baseline.
Why PROSERIS helpsThe REMI core model is dynamic: it accounts for how population, prices, investment, and government spending respond each year. Results show an impact building and fading over time rather than a single static multiplier.
Regional and strategic planning
Compare development strategies for the geography you are accountable for. Data covers 50 states, 3,000 counties, and 194 MSAs, so an analysis can be run at the level a plan is actually written at — a single county, a metropolitan area, or the whole state.
Why PROSERIS helpsSeveral scenarios can be built and compared in one sitting, so a long-range plan can be argued from a set of modelled alternatives instead of one preferred option and a footnote.
Infrastructure investment analysis
Model what a capital project does to the regional economy, both while it is being built and once it is running. Construction spending and the ongoing activity a completed asset supports enter as separate inputs, and results break out by industry.
Why PROSERIS helpsIndustry and regional detail shows where the effects land, not just the headline total — which is usually the part a public hearing or a council briefing asks about first.
Economic development incentive programs
Assess what an incentive package is projected to return. Model the employment and output a supported project brings to the region, and compare it against a baseline in which the incentive is not offered.
Why PROSERIS helpsThe method and the assumptions behind a figure are documented and repeatable, which matters when the number will be published, audited, or contested.
Why government agencies choose PROSERIS
- A documented, repeatable method that holds up to public scrutiny and audit
- Regional economic data for 50 states, 3,000 counties, and 194 MSAs, already loaded
- Scenario modeling, so a plan can be argued from alternatives rather than one option
- Show where a policy's effects land across industries and communities, not just the total
- Charts, tables, and exportable Word and PowerPoint files, ready for a briefing or a hearing
