Regional Socioeconomic Impact Analysis and Modeling: Course Description
Regional economic impact modeling is a way of forecasting the positive or negative effects of a given change within a city or region, such as the loss of an industry, a population increase or the building of a new airport. This OpenCourseWare presents class material taken from an MIT course on the subject taught by Professor Karen Polenske. Included with this material are three student final projects from the original class, which provide examples of regional impact analysis in action. Students used Regional Economic Models Inc., or REMI, to model the effects of offshoring local jobs, analyze proposed changes to coastal zoning in Boston and chart the impact of Boston's Logan Airport on the regional economy. Also included with the readings in this course are an article on how to properly measure economic impact and a case study of working families in Massachusetts. This material could be a useful reference for students studying for a master's degree in urban planning or civil engineering.
This OpenCourseWare provides readings, a sample problem set, student final projects and a style guide for student papers. To make use of these free online materials, visit the socioeconomic impact analysis course page.
