Abstract
An Economic Impact Study tries to measure the amount of spending and/or financial benefit accomplished by a specific organization, institution or activity within a defined geographic area. Using the Economic and Service Impact Report generated for Iona College and published in 2015, the author of this study discusses the difficulties, challenges, and limitations associated with the assumptions, methods and calculations utilized during an impact study. The purpose is to aid others in anticipating the design and implementation challenges so as to enable others to execute an impact study.
