REMI:
Communities in Oklahoma often are faced with a variety of questions concerning economic and demographic growth, development and policy changes. An economic modeling service is now being offered to all communities across the state by the Center for Economic and Business Development at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford.
The economic model is divided into six sub-state regions and then further divided into 70 industrial sectors. This means that the CEBD can modify industry-specific variables for economic impact scenarios that affect a limited number of industries. For every economic-impact scenario, the model will outline the economic impacts upon each of the 70 sectors. The model includes economic impacts that not only capture direct effects of a scenario, but also helps to capture indirect as well as induced effects.
For more information on how the REMI model works, please contact the Center for Economic and Business Development at (580) 774-7095 or visit us
