The author co-founded the company known today as Economic Modeling
Specialists International (Emsi) nearly 20 years ago. The main
reason for starting the company was the existence of a pent-up
demand for credible and affordable economic impact studies for
community and technical colleges. Over the past 19 years, Emsi has
responded to this demand by completing over 2000 such studies for
colleges in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. The book chronicles
the lessons learned over this time period and highlights what an
economic impact study is, is not, what the results mean, and why
they are important. It also discusses how presidents and governing
boards can leverage the impact results to address other issues they
deal with on a daily basis. Few college presidents are fully aware
of this opportunity, however, and thus do not fully exploit the
richness of the study. A strong case is also made that the college
leadership should play a much stronger leadership roles in regional
economic development of their region in addition to their roles as
advocates for their colleges only.
