About Us

The Center for Applied Economic Research is a service organization of Montana State University-Billings.  Our mission is to provide economic research and analysis for the Yellowstone region.  That region includes central and eastern Montana and northern Wyoming. 

We encourage you to become involved in the work of the Center.  By becoming our partner or contracting with the Center for research services, you have access to the Center's resources and expertise of University professors, you support educational opportunities for our student assistants, and you become involved in collaborating with and supporting a regional network of people working on local economic issues.
