The Rise of Data Centers: Economic Impacts of the Digital Infrastructure Boom - IMPLAN Webinars

May 2025 - Data centers are the backbone of the digital age, and their rapid expansion is creating a significant economic boom. This webinar provides a practical guide on how to quantify the full economic impact of data center projects, from initial construction to long-term operations, using IMPLAN. Join Dr. Candi Clouse, IMPLAN's VP of Customer Success & Education Services, for a comprehensive walkthrough of data center analysis. Learn how to model the distinct economic effects of the construction phase (including building and equipment costs) and the operational phase (including high-paying jobs and significant energy use). The session covers advanced topics like customizing spending patterns to reflect energy demands, analyzing server refresh cycles, and using Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) analysis to capture supply chain effects across state lines.
