Understanding 'what works' and applying lessons to new
circumstances is critical to innovating policy and refreshing local
economic programmes.
Identifying the real effects of investment, through robust
impact measurement ensures that policy makers are fully informed of
the potential consequences of future actions and can adjust
investment choices to maximize local benefits.

and associated methodologies to economic impact assessments.
