Economic Impact Studies
We provide original economic impact assessments that enable our clients to develop new strategies, test new policies and make the case for their work.
We have sector-leading capabilities and cutting-edge in-house tools and capabilities for assessing the economic, social and cultural impacts made by the global screen sector.
Economic impact assessments are an important part of the policy toolkit for governments and other interested parties working in the sector, as they allow a comprehensive understanding of the industry to be presented. Aside from the direct value generated (e.g., GVA, output, employment), this can include regional variations, private investment attracted, and spillover impacts, such as screen tourism.
