Regulatory and Impact Analysis

ENTRIX has extensive experience conducting regulatory and impact analyses to help clients understand the potential costs, benefits and tradeoffs of regulations, project alternatives, and management decisions.  These studies provide greater clarity on the impacts associated with different courses of action and can have broad applications—relating to compliance with national and state environmental regulations, justification for project funding, and community outreach.

For over 25 years, ENTRIX economists have been evaluating the total economic effects from both the direct “shock” of a proposed change and the related rippling effects.  ENTRIX analyses provide estimates of project impact in terms of total changes in economic output, income, and employment in all sectors of the economy.  Based on findings, we can also estimate the fiscal consequences of other concerns like changes in property, sales, and income taxes.

ENTRIX impact estimates provide valuable, hard data for decision makers, project proponents and community stakeholders alike.  Our clients have included federal, state, and local governments, economic development associations, public utilities, public water districts, and private industry.  In complex and controversial situations, ENTRIX analyses have often been used for defensible documentation in various disputes and settlement proceedings.
