Center for Business and Economic Research
°Õ³ó±ðÌýCenter for Business and Economic Research (CBER) provides reliable, timely, and accurate economic data that is critically important
to the development of our region. Quarterly, CBER participates in an Accra-Cost of
Living Survey so our regional cost of living can be compared with the rest of the
country.
This data along with other pertinent economic data is published in the Northeast Louisiana
Fact Book on an annual basis. The Fact Book has become a valuable resource for business
leaders and economic development professionals throughout the state.
CBER annually publishes the Louisiana Fact book, which is a comprehensive compilation
of data and some analysis of the demography and economy of Northeast Louisiana.
Each spring, the ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ College of Business along with LA Tech's College of Business
host a Business Outlook Summit during which much of the data and analysis from the
Fact Book and Accra-Cost of Living Survey are presented and discussed with leaders
throughout the region.
All three of the previously mentioned sources are made available for public consumption
at no cost. Resources provided through CBER have played a critical role in developing
the region, such as provided necessary data and analysis for relocation decisions,
reducing costs of financing, and business expansions.
