ABOUT JOHN DUNHAM & ASSOCIATES

To better understand John Dunham & Associates (JDA), look no further than American economist Leonard E. Read’s famous 1958 essay I, Pencil. The essay highlights the complex process involved in creating a simple pencil. Comprised of wood, lacquer, a printed label, graphite lead, a bit of metal, and an eraser, millions of people from around the world have a hand in making a pencil.

At JDA, we develop and help tell similar stories about our clients’ industries. We support these stories with economic data. Every industry, company or product has a story to tell. We start with the data, which we obtain from both industry and government sources. Using widely accepted modeling techniques, we take that data and calculate the economic story of an entire industry.

In addition to Economic Modeling and Analysis, the firm also provides the following services:

  • Data Collection
  • Date Visualization
  • Expert Testimony
  • Industry Intelligence
  • Surveying
  • Scoring for Political Candidates' Policies
