In today’s highly competitive marketplace, the long-term prospects of a community, region, or state can hinge on a single economic development decision. That’s why it’s essential that leaders and citizens have access to the information they need to make sound choices.

The IU Public Policy Institute provides that information through applied research and expert analysis in service areas, including industry clusters, economic valuation, program evaluation, tax-increment financing, workforce development, and more. With a mix of academic expertise and research knowledge, the Institute helps Hoosiers and their leaders understand marketplace data, assess their options, and make the right decisions.
