Overview

The Economic & Business Research Center's mission is to provide the Arizona community of business and public-sector decision makers with economic forecasts, applied research, and information on economic, demographic and business trends in the State, its metro areas, and the Western region.

EBR responds to requests for information from state and local government agencies, chambers of commerce, public and private researchers, industrial organizations, news media, and private citizens. In turn, EBR seeks research contracts with public and private agencies. How can you participate in EBR's research efforts?
