About Us

Beacon Economics is an independent research and consulting firm founded in 2006. It provides economic analysis to help businesses and governments make informed decisions. The firm is known for accurately forecasting economic trends, including the subprime mortgage crisis. Its services include economic forecasting, real estate advisory, fiscal impact analysis, and public policy research. Beacon Economics works with a range of clients, from cities to Fortune 500 companies, using proprietary data models and a focus on analytical excellence.

The accurateness of its economic forecasting has helped establish Beacon as one of California’s most reputable economic research firms. The company’s specialized practice areas include Sustainable Growth and Development; Housing, Land Use and Real Estate Advisory; Economic and Revenue Forecasting; Economic, Fiscal, and Social Impact Analysis; Litigation Support and Expert Testimony; and Regional and Sub-Regional Analysis.

Unlike other consulting groups in this sphere, many of which are directed by MBAs or urban and city planners, Beacon Economics is led by, and works with, PhD and Master’s level economists. The academic training and credentials of its experts set the firm apart and are at the root of its commitment to objectivity and analytic excellence.
