The Iowa Department of Economic Development asked us to build a model to estimate the projected economic impact of Iowa Values Fund projects. With a task force of eight top economists, we built a ground-breaking model which the Department is now using to evaluate all of their public sector investments. Professor Alan Peters (University of Iowa) prepared a slide report to demonstrate the model.

A New Home for an Old Friend: Iowa Economic Trends, 2001

When Harvey Siegelman retired as State Economist in 2001, an information website that he had developed and maintained for a decade (from print to the web) was going to be retired, too. But, Iowa Workforce Development came to the rescue and adopted the project. SEG rebuilt the database model and trained their research staff to maintain it. The IWD staff have been providing updated information on that website ever since. Their address is www.iowaworkforce.org/trends/.
