What practitioners ask us.
How is EDIA different from IMPLAN or REMI?
They're powerful tools for economists to model a regional economy. EDIA is built for the decision a deal team faces: what an offer costs, what comes back and when it pays back, for the state and for the community, with the report written for you. It rests on established economic foundations, starting with BEA's own RIMS II multipliers, and you don't need to be an economist to run it.
Do I need a background in economics?
No. You enter what's in the company's application, and the location's multipliers, wages and tax rates fill in on their own. Each result comes with a plain-language explanation, and an economist on your team can still see and change every assumption.
Where does the data come from?
Public sources, including BEA's RIMS II multipliers, Bureau of Labor Statistics wages and employment, US Census commuting and government finance data, and state tax law. Every assumption in a project shows its source.
How does EDIA use AI?
AI writes the narrative of each report for the project and its reader. It never calculates: every figure comes from the model, and you review the draft before it goes out.
Which states does EDIA cover?
Most of the states that actively compete for new business, and we're adding more all the time. Tell us where you work and we'll show you what's ready for your state.
