Economic Research Institute of Erie (ERIE)

The purpose of ERIE is to collect, analyze, interpret and disseminate data, information, and forecasts for the Erie, PA regional economy. Our continuing research program seeks to help the local community better understand the regional economy and its linkages to the national economy. ERIE provides a source of information for local leaders and media who have questions about the local, national and international economies. ERIE compiles data on the local economy from a wide range of sources, and helps local users access and evaluate these data.

Established in late 1982, the Institute is an applied research unit of Penn State Erie's Sam and Irene Black School of Business. We do not wish to duplicate the activities of other Erie-area organizations. Rather, we seek to use our collective training and experience in the areas of data manipulation and technical analysis to provide support to those whose expertise falls in different fields.

Another important goal of ERIE is to provide our students with relevant experience with applied economic research and data.

Our primary focus is on Erie County, Pennsylvania, but we also gather some data on the nation and the broader northwest Pennsylvania area, as well as some sub-county units. We anticipate adding data for other local counties as the site expands.
