Economic Impact

Economic Impact refers to the effect that an event, policy, or market trend has on the economic well-being of a community, region, or country. This impact can be measured in terms of changes in income, employment, business productivity, and overall economic growth. Economic impact assessments often consider both direct effects, such as job creation or loss directly related to a certain action, and indirect effects, like increased demand for local services and products as a result of that action. It can also encompass opportunities and risks that arise from factors like investments, natural disasters, regulatory changes, or technological advancements. Policymakers, businesses, and researchers analyze economic impact to inform decisions and understand the broader implications of changes in the economy.
