RFP Scope:

FCC is looking for economic expertise to build a framework that would assess the economic impact of various lending initiatives. The economic impact would be assessed in terms of GDP and jobs created by region/province and sector (i.e., broken down by NAICS codes) leveraging the input/output multipliers tables of Statistics Canada.

The consultant will supply FCC with a simple empirical framework that can run various scenarios and lending initiatives. The framework would also be adjustable to reflect Statistics Canada updates to its input/output tables over the years. For a complete list of requirements, refer to the RFP Scope (Part 4) for further details.
