Transparent. Defensible. Built for Public Sector Accountability. At Penn and Associates, we believe economic impact analysis should be clear, auditable, and tailored to the realities of public sector decision-making. That’s why we built the Penn CGE Model—a proprietary computable general equilibrium framework designed to deliver disciplined, transparent analysis—complete with published multipliers and ratios that make the methodology clear and defensible. What Sets Us Apart Contextual Customization Our model includes a unique “C” variable—a dynamic input channel designed to accommodate diverse data sources beyond standard NAICS-based GSP, including underrepresented and proprietary inputs. While Gross State Product serves as a finite, publicly published fiscal boundary, “C” enables the integration of regional trends and client-defined priorities—always with transparent documents and analytical discipline. Voice-Informed Context We use survey-based insights and behavioral data to enrich economic narratives with perspectives not captured in standard datasets. These voices enhance reader engagement while preserving transparency and analytical discipline. Methodological Transparency While the full model remains proprietary, we welcome methodological review and provide detailed documentation to clients and stakeholders upon engagement. Founder-Led Oversight Penn and Associates is founder-led, but far from solitary—our work is shaped by government datasets, survey results, client feedback, and analytical discipline. This structure ensures direct engagement, strategic agility, and continuity of expertise across every engagement. A Legacy of Integrity in Research With nearly four decades of experience in marketing research and public opinion polling, we remain committed to data collection that supports statistical inference theory. Our work reflects a hard-earned understanding: truthful insights require methodological integrity. About               Methodology         Impact & Projects    Contact
