Our Services
A Tailored Approach To Each Client
At Mangum Economics we pride ourselves on having a client-focused approach. Over 22 years we have earned a reputation for working closely with our clients, tailoring our services to their specific needs and circumstances.
Economic and Fiscal Impact Reports
Economic and fiscal impact assessments provide a client with an objective, quantitative, third-party assessment of the economic benefits that their project or initiative is likely to provide for its host community.
Industry Analysis
Industry analyses provide a drill-down into a specific industry that generally quantifies what the industry does/could do for its host community.
Return on Investment Analysis
A return on investment analysis (ROI) quantifies the benefit of a specific project relative to the cost or investment required to support that project.
Strategic Planning
In the real world, luck is the residual of good planning. And few plans are successful that fail to take in to account current and likely future economic conditions.
Expert Testimony
It’s one thing to write a report. It’s another to be able to clearly present and defend the findings of that report in what can sometimes be an adversarial environment.
Industries We Serve
Commercial/Economic Development
The Mangum Team has extensive experience in quantifying the economic and fiscal impact of a wide variety of commercial and economic development projects that range in capital investment from the millions to the billions.
Conventional Energy
In addition to conducting economic and fiscal impact analyses for the electrical power, natural gas, nuclear, oil, and pipeline industries, the Mangum Team has also demonstrated how those industries support economic development in other sectors of the economy.
Data Center Development
Working with some of the largest names in the business, the Mangum Team has produced comprehensive and well-regarded analyses of the economic and fiscal impact of data centers in multiple states and localities.
Education
Education is truly society’s investment in the future, and the Mangum Team has a long history of working with public and private educational institutions, policy making boards and councils, and think tanks.
Healthcare
More than most industries, the healthcare industry touches everyone. From quantifying the need for expanded services to addressing workforce issues, the Mangum Team is proud of the work we have done to support this vital industry.
Housing
Today, one of the most pressing issues facing urban and rural communities alike is the need for affordable housing. The Mangum Team has the experience and expertise to provide the answers.
Manufacturing
From quantifying economic impact, to illuminating customer/supplier networks, to identifying potential future workforce bottlenecks, the Mangum Team has a long history of serving the manufacturing sector.
Policy Analysis
The Mangum Team has extensive experience at both the state and federal level in working with various organizations to identify and quantify the economic consequences of proposed legislation, regulations, and other policy initiatives.
Renewable Energy
The Mangum Team has produced analyses of the economic and fiscal impact of over 16 GW of proposed solar, wind, battery, and hydro projects spanning over a dozen states. Among those projects are AES’ 500 MW Spotsylvania Solar Energy Center (the largest solar installation east of the Rocky Mountains) and Dominion Energy’s 2.6 GW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project.
Tourism and Hospitality
A region's tourism and hospitality industry acts like an export industry expanding the economy by attracting dollars from out of the area. The Mangum Team has often been called upon to quantify what that means at a state and local level in terms of economic activity and tax revenue.
