Beacon Economics, LLC

About Us

Founded in 2006, Beacon Economics, an LLC and certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE) with the state of California, is a leading independent research and consulting firm dedicated to delivering accurate, insightful, and objectively-based economic analysis. Leveraging unique proprietary models, vast databases, and sophisticated data processing, the firm equips its clients with the analysis needed to understand on-the-ground realities and make informed business and policy decisions. Practice areas include sustainable growth and development; housing, land use, and real estate markets; economic and revenue forecasting; economic, fiscal, and social impact analysis; regional and subregional economies; and public policy analysis. Beacon Economics’ internationally recognized forecasters were among the first and most accurate predictors of the U.S. mortgage market meltdown that began in 2007 – and among a relatively small handful of researchers who correctly calculated the depth and breadth of the financial and economic crisis that followed. Clients range from the State of California to Fortune 500 companies to major cities and universities. Between 2015-2023, the firm established and ran the Center for Economic Forecasting and Development at the University of California, Riverside School of Business. Learn more at www.BeaconEcon.com.
