EconSearch Completed Project

Project: Economic Assessment of the Seafood CRC Proposal (2006)

Client: Fisheries Research and Development Corporation

Summary: In order to fulfil the requirements of Stage 2 of the CRC application process, EconSearch was requested by FRDC to conduct an economic impact study of the proposed Seafood CRC. The primary purpose of the analysis was to objectively measure the range of economic outcomes that would potentially flow as a consequence of the application of research initiatives to be undertaken by the Seafood CRC. Economic impacts were measured using both cost benefit analysis and input-output analysis.
