How This is Calculated
This economic impact model relies on standard formulas used by city planning boards. It calculates Direct Impact (actual money spent on tickets, hotels, transit, and dining) and multiplies it by a localized circulating factor (1.6x) representing how that money pays local workers, who then spend it again in their community. Massive pop events act as massive mini-stimulus packages for cities.
