Recently I sat down with IMPLAN economist, James Squibb, to discuss his recent paper acceptance at the upcoming International Input-Output Association (IIOA) conference in Brazil this June.

Put simply, IMPLAN is built for everyone.
Together, our software and data give you a window into your region of study — like one gigantic transaction log for the local economy.
