Interpreting economic importance and impact
Decisio has carried out a wide range of economic impact studies for many years, for a diverse set of clients. From elite sport in Heerenveen to the Design Academy Eindhoven, from the importance of Schiphol Airport to the impact of Formula 1 in Zandvoort. What is the significance of a sector or event, and what is the effect of a tax change or subsidy programme? Interpreting economic significance and impact is a substantive task in which we have extensive experience.
We support clients with economic impact studies of policies, specific markets, spatial projects or events. We explore which questions matter most for your economic impact assessment. Our consultants have strong data skills and know how to access a wide range of sources to produce a meaningful analysis.
Economic ripple effects
Beyond the direct economic effects and significance, it is also important to understand the wider economic ripple effects of a policy, market, or project. After all, no market operates in isolation. Through supply chains and procurement, there are indirect economic effects, known as multiplier effects. To assess these indirect economic impacts, Decisio uses a proprietary regional input–output model. Based on up‑to‑date CBS statistics, we always have a current model available for your specific question. This enables us not only to quantify the direct economic significance, but also to provide a clear picture of the indirect economic ripple effects of a policy or market.
