Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Moody's Analytics: Large-scale provider of economic forecasts, scenario analysis, and impact modeling to governments and enterprises globally. Competes at the higher end of impact analysis engagements and overlaps Seidman's state revenue forecasting work (e.g., OSPB).
• S&P Global Market Intelligence: Global provider of economic research, industry analytics, and financial data. Overlaps with Seidman on economic forecasting and impact analysis but operates at vastly broader scale and product breadth.

Direct peers

• Anderson Economic Group: Michigan-based economic consulting firm specializing in economic and fiscal impact analyses, public policy economics, and forecasting for governments and corporations — directly comparable service offering.
• Bureau of Business Research, University of Nebraska-Lincoln: University-affiliated economic research bureau conducting state-level economic analysis, forecasting, and impact studies for Nebraska and surrounding regions — a near-structural analogue to Seidman within a public university.
• Lightcast (formerly EMSI / Burning Glass): Provider of labor market analytics, economic data, and impact modeling software used by employers, governments, and educational institutions. Directly comparable to Seidman's Job Growth USA and economic impact consulting offerings, with national scale and a subscription-based product model.

• IMPLAN Group: Owner of the IMPLAN input-output economic impact modeling platform that Seidman customizes and applies for clients. A platform-level peer and upstream enabler of Seidman's core methodology.
• The Perryman Group: Texas-based economic and financial analysis firm providing economic impact studies, forecasts, and litigation support for government and corporate clients. Closely comparable service model and client mix.
• W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research: Independent, nonpartisan economic research institute focused on employment, labor markets, and policy evaluation. Structurally similar as a research-oriented organization producing economic analysis for public and private clients.
• Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI): Developer of REMI Policy Insight and Tax-PI input-output economic modeling software used by state agencies and consultancies for fiscal and economic impact analysis. A direct methodological peer to Seidman's IMPLAN-based modeling practice.
