网曝吃瓜

The 网曝吃瓜 Research Center conducts surveys of small business owners on a wide variety of topics. Surveys are conducted from a national sample of 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 small business members (approx. 300,000) by mail and occasionally email.

The 网曝吃瓜 Research Center does on occasion contract with individuals and/or organizations to conduct research on its behalf.

Simulations create simplified descriptions of reality. The simulation system the 网曝吃瓜 Research Center employs first calculates a baseline forecast intended to represent the path the economy would take assuming no major changes (鈥渟hocks鈥�) occur. It then calculates forecasts for an alternative scenario in which some major change/shock occurs. For present purposes, these shocks take the form of public policy change. The difference between the forecast for the alternative and baseline scenarios is the impact of the policy change. Impacts measure include changes in employment, real output, prices, etc.

The Business Size Impact Module (BSIM) was developed for the 网曝吃瓜 Research Center by Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI) of Amherst, MA. The principal feature distinguishing BSIM from REMI鈥檚 multi-region structural economic forecasting and policy analysis model, is its ability to forecast the impact of policy changes on U.S. businesses differentiated by size of firm. No other model (of which we are aware) has this capability. The REMI model is the leading forecasting and policy analysis model in use and is employed by hundreds of governmental agencies, universities, consulting firms, nonprofits, and others.
