REMI Pittsburgh

Regional economic models describe the flow of monetary and labor resources within and across both regions and economic sectors. They are often used to assess the economic and labor impacts of policy alternatives, such as tax revisions, economic development, large-scale infrastructure investment, and many other similar scenarios.

UCSUR uses software published by Regional Economic Models Inc. (REMI) to develop and maintain a regional economic model for Pittsburgh.  Pittsburgh’s REMI model is supported by UCSUR in partnership with the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, which uses REMI for planning transportation infrastructure.  UCSUR has more than 25 years of experience applying the model to the Pittsburgh region. Previous  applications of Pittsburgh’s REMI model include economic, population, and labor forecasting and regional economic impact analysis.
