Our Projects

US Department of Commerce – Bureau of Economic Analysis

Omnicom has been a principal builder working closely with business teams across all divisions for 17 years. Our work here has included building modernized versions of core economic statistic estimation systems:

• US gross domestic product (GDP) and income (GDI)

• Cross-border financial flows (Balance of Payments) and investment (Foreign Direct Investment)

• Industry (input-output) view of the economy

• Regional (state, county, and major metropolitan area level) gross domestic product and income.

Results of many of these systems are public and can be found at www.bea.gov.
