Center for Business and Economic Research

The Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) responds to requests for information from state and local government agencies, chambers of commerce, public and private researchers, industrial organizations, news media, and private citizens. CBER handles many requests and serves clients in most of Alabama’s counties. CBER also seeks contracts with public and private agencies. Our population and forecasting models can be applied to produce forecasts for specified geographic areas. The Center can customize econometric models to analyze the economic impact of an industry or major economic event on an area. The Center can also prepare area demographic profiles.
