OIA Economic Impact Reports
The following reports on total OIA direct grants and payments to the insular areas demonstrate the important role this assistance plays in the economies of each of these areas by providing financial and technical assistance to promote economic growth, education, and public health and the development of more efficient and effective government. Because of a lack of sophisticated economic data series, OIA contracted with RTI International to develop a methodology that, despite data limitations, approximates the economic impact of OIA grants and payments to the insular areas using secondary data on employment, employee compensation, and gross domestic product.
