CU-REAL

Research within the Clemson University Department of Political Science includes the Clemson University Regional Economic Analysis Laboratory (CU-REAL) that performs public policy, economic and fiscal analysis for public, private, and nonprofit sector clients... The Laboratory began as the Regional Dynamics & Economic Modeling Laboratory at the Strom Thurmond Institute in 2007 under the direction of Dr. Tom Tanner. Dr. Tanner was creator of the Regional Dynamics (REDYN) economic modeling platform, which was the Laboratory's primary tool for input-output and fiscal modeling. Dr. Rob Carey succeeded Dr. Tanner as director of the Laboratory in 2009, having worked under Dr. Tanner over the previous two years. During this time, the Laboratory added IMPLAN to its economic modeling toolkit.
