Strategies and Analysis for Economic Recovery using REMI PI+
This is a comprehensive introduction to REMI PI+ and specifically, its application in measuring impacts of
economic development initiatives. What will adding a new industry or business do to a regional economy?
Alternatively, what will the addition of a research center do to employment and overall productivity? PI+
provides the answer to these sorts of development questions.
Evaluating Transportation Infrastructure under Turbulent Times
It’s easy to estimate job growth directly from a construction project but what happens when the project is
completed? This presentation describes how REMI approaches transportation and infrastructure
developing and funding through transportation cost. Discussion includes project prioritization and regional
macroeconomic impacts of transportation infrastructure improvement.
Evaluating Fiscal Policy in Light of Financial Crisis and Aging Population
REMI PI+ provides a dynamic framework to evaluate the impacts of taxes and government spending in
response to recovery initiatives. In addition to quantifying economic impacts, PI+ can analyze policy effects
on the fiscal budget. We will demonstrate how to use PI+ to investigate and compare strategies to create
comprehensive policies best for serving the changing landscape of economy and population.
