Beacon Economics LLC

Beacon Economics, LLC is an independent research and consulting firm dedicated to delivering accurate, insightful, and objectively-based analysis about the economy, enabling its clients to make informed decisions about investment, growth, revenue, and policy. Founded in 2007, the firm entered the spotlight as one of the earliest and most adamant forecasters of the subprime mortgage market meltdown – and as one of a handful of organizations to stand against the tide and correctly calculate the depth and breadth of the global financial and economic crisis that followed. Unlike other consulting groups in this sphere, many of which are directed by MBAs or urban and city planners, Beacon Economics is led by, and works with, PhD and Master’s level economists. The academic training and credentials of its experts set the firm apart and are at the root of its commitment to objectivity and analytic excellence. Beacon Economics’ work has been used by a diverse array of private and public sector clients including the California State Controller’s Office, Paulson & Company (one of Wall Street’s leading hedge funds), major cities and counties across the western United States, the PGA Tour, Southern California Edison, Kaiser Permanente, and the Sacramento Kings basketball team.
