Impact Economics offers economic research, advice, and education services on a range of economic topics, including economic effects assessments, macroeconomic and baseline research, economic modeling, housing and homelessness, poverty, food security, and local food production (traditional economy), tourism, demographics, and labour.

Impact Economics’ mission is to provide economic services that are based on thorough and dedicated research and sound economic principles, the results of which are provided to clients through thoughtful verbal and written presentation.

A guiding principle for Impact Economics is the belief that economics is the study of choices and the job of an economist is to quantify and qualify the outcomes of choices made and those passed over, and to explain the results in everyday language. In doing their job, an economist helps people, organisations, governments, and companies make informed decisions based on a better understanding of the economic consequences of their choices. To that end, Impact Economics is dedicated to helping clients understand the economy around them through the delivery of quality work, supporting clients with their economic questions, and sharing knowledge of economic concepts and theory and how they apply to our everyday lives.
