Everything You Need for Rigorous Impact Analysis

Built on peer-reviewed methodology with transparent, reproducible results.

📊

71-Industry I-O Model

Full Leontief input-output model constructed from the BEA 2024 Use table at the summary level. Captures direct, indirect, and induced effects across all industry sectors.

🗺️

Any U.S. County or Metro Area

Select individual counties, multi-county regions, or pre-defined metropolitan statistical areas. Over 3,000 counties and 80+ MSAs available.

🎯

Flegg LQ Regionalization

National model regionalized using the Flegg Location Quotient method with BLS QCEW county-level employment data (2024 annual averages).

📈

Monte Carlo Confidence Intervals

Uncertainty quantification via Monte Carlo simulation — vary key parameters simultaneously to produce 90% confidence intervals on all estimates.

📄

Client-Ready Reports

Professional Word and PDF documents with executive summary, methodology, county maps, industry tables, and tax revenue estimates. Ready for board presentations.

🔬

Validated Against BEA

National model validated against BEA's published Total Requirements table, achieving 0.970 Pearson correlation across all matrix elements.

Analysis in Four Steps

From region selection to downloadable report in under 10 minutes.

Select Your Region

Choose a metropolitan area or build a custom multi-county region from any U.S. state.

Define Your Scenario

Use built-in templates (hospital expansion, manufacturing, WFH impact) or enter custom industry shocks.

Run the Analysis

The model computes multipliers, jobs, value added, labor income, and tax revenue in seconds.

Rigorous, Transparent, Reproducible

Leontief Input-Output Framework

The model constructs the direct requirements matrix from BEA's 2024 Use table and computes the Leontief inverse L = (I - A)⁻¹ to capture the infinite series of supply chain transactions.

Households are endogenized via a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) augmentation to capture induced effects — the consumer spending that ripples through the economy when workers earn income.

Flegg Location Quotient

Regional trade patterns are estimated using the Flegg LQ method (Flegg and Webber, 2000), calibrated from county-level BLS employment data. This determines what share of each industry's inputs are sourced locally versus imported.

Academic Foundation

Built on the framework described in Miller and Blair (2022), Input-Output Analysis: Foundations and Extensions, 3rd Edition — the standard graduate-level reference for I-O modeling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What methodology does SpillOver.io use?

SpillOver.io uses a Leontief input-output model constructed from the Bureau of Economic Analysis 2024 Use table (71 industries). The national model is regionalized using Flegg Location Quotients calibrated from BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data. Households are endogenized via a Social Accounting Matrix for induced effects.

How does this compare to IMPLAN?

SpillOver.io uses the same core Leontief framework as IMPLAN but with different data sources and regionalization. IMPLAN uses proprietary data and SAM accounts; SpillOver.io uses publicly available BEA and BLS data with Flegg LQ regionalization. SpillOver.io also includes Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis, which IMPLAN does not offer.

What regions are available?

Any U.S. county (3,075+ counties across all 50 states) or metropolitan statistical area (80+ pre-defined MSAs). You can also build custom multi-county regions by selecting individual counties.

Is the platform free to use?

Yes — you can explore the full platform, build regional models, run scenarios, and view results without creating an account or paying anything. Payment ($149) is only required to download Word, PDF, and CSV report files.

What's included in the downloadable report?

Professional Word and PDF documents containing: executive summary with pre-written narrative, county map, regional economic profile, scenario description, full methodology section, impact results tables with narrative interpretation, tax revenue estimates, top 20 industries table, and Monte Carlo analysis (if run). Reports are formatted for client presentations and board meetings.

Can I model negative economic scenarios?

Yes. SpillOver.io supports both positive scenarios (new investments, expansions) and negative scenarios (plant closures, remote work displacement, industry contraction). Negative scenarios show job losses, reduced output, and diminished tax revenue with appropriate narrative language throughout the report.
