With the latest release of IMPLAN International, evaluating global supply chain shifts, international trade flows, and multi-regional impacts has never been more precise. Join IMPLAN's Director of Education Services, Eric Clower, and International Economic Data Developer, Ashley Bickel, as they detail the enhanced capabilities of the latest international dataset. This webinar explores how IMPLAN expanded its footprint to 80 countries (covering over 90% of global GDP), transitioned to a more granular 51-industry scheme, and introduced a refined methodology for tracking taxes on products net of subsidies (TOPS) using basic prices.
