MAJOR CLIENTS AND RESEARCH PROJECTS
|
| 2001 – Current |
Northwest Resource Information Center
- Analysis of Economic Effects of Breaching / Not Breaching the Army Corps of Engineers’ Snake River Dams in SE Washington,
- Rocky Mountain Econometrics successfully vetted and recalculated the U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers 1,500 page, $20 million study on the potential effects of breaching the Washington State Snake River dams to provide a measure of the impact on Idaho’s economy. Potential Idaho beneficial impacts exceed $1 Billion.
- The finished report was published and distributed to the Idaho Legislature, and northwest governmental agencies, business leaders, and media.
|
| 2003 - 2004 |
National Wildlife Federation
- Analysis of Economic Effects of Dredging the Lewiston to Tri – Cities reach of the Lower Snake River in SE Washington,
- Activities involved documenting and analyzing the economic impacts of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposal to dredge the navigation channel associated with the four Lower Snake River dams.
- Rocky Mountain Econometric’s successfully documented that, for two years running, dredging the channel was not economically beneficial to the Lewiston area.
|
| 2003 - 2004 |
Windland, Inc.
- Rocky Mountain Econometrics developed the demand and pricing model for Windland Inc. The finished model incorporated median water in the Snake River, historic wind in specific southern Idaho wind farm sites, together with time of day, and time of year energy demand to successfully predict Windland’s potential to successfully compete with other existing energy providers.
|
| 2002 - 2003 |
Payette Energy LLC
- Rocky Mountain Econometrics developed the economic and fiscal impact of Payette Energy’s proposed $125 million investment in a natural gas-fired electric power plant to be located in the unincorporated area of Payette County, Idaho
- Rocky Mountain Econometrics demonstrated that the local construction component of the plant would provide a $40.0 million boost to the local economy and that, after operations commenced, the state and local jurisdictions would reap an annual benefit of $1.8 million.
|
| 2001 - 2004 |
Ben Johnson and Associates, Tallahassee, FL
- Rocky Mountain Econometrics activities involved economic analysis and expert testimony sufficient to prove the correlation between rate-cap regulation and telecommunication company efficiencies and profits nation wide. Rocky Mountain Econometrics was instrumental in developing a statistical model for setting telephone rates on an individual company basis. The results are rates designed to stimulate innovation, efficiency, and thus low rates for the consumer while providing reasonable rates of return to the companies.
|
| 1998 – 2000 |
Idaho Governors Phil Batt and Dirk Kempthorne
- Rocky Mountain Econometrics provided technical economic advice to the staffs of the two governors on issues associated with the Unites States Army Corp of Engineers (COE) “Feasibility Report - EIS on Snake River Salmon.”
