INTER-INDUSTRY ECONOMIC RESEARCH FUND INC

INTER-INDUSTRY ECONOMIC RESEARCH FUND INC specializes in advanced macroeconomic modeling and policy analysis within the social sciences and humanities, delivering high-impact research to inform federal fiscal and health policy decisions. The contractor’s core expertise lies in developing and licensing sophisticated economic forecasting models, including long-range 75-year projections and short-run 10-year simulations, used to evaluate tax policy impacts and program sustainability. Their technical capabilities encompass econometric modeling, dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) frameworks, and institutional modeling for public finance systems, with a demonstrated focus on the LIFT modeling platform used by the Office of Tax Policy. This deep specialization in computationally intensive economic simulation sets them apart as a niche provider of evidence-based analytical tools for complex policy evaluation. The contractor has established direct relationships with the Department of the Treasury and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services under the Department of Health and Human Services. For Treasury, they provide modeling licenses and analytical support for tax policy assessment; for HHS/CMS, they deliver macroeconomic projections critical to long-term program solvency analysis and budget forecasting. These engagements reflect a pattern of mission-critical, non-routine consulting work tied to strategic fiscal planning rather than routine data analysis. Their primary NAICS classification, 541720, reflects a focused market position in applied economic research for public sector decision-making, particularly in taxation, healthcare financing, and intergenerational fiscal sustainability. They serve as a technical advisor to agencies requiring rigorous, transparent modeling of economic outcomes under policy change. As a small business structured under the 8H designation, the organization operates from College Park, Maryland, positioning it near federal research and policy hubs. While no formal government certifications are listed, their track record demonstrates credibility through direct, high-stakes contract awards requiring advanced technical rigor and institutional trust.
