About BBER

The University of New Mexico Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER), established in 1945, has decades of experience and a proven track record in providing objective and credible demographic and economic information, analysis, and projections to New Mexico businesses, state and local government agencies, and the general public. BBER staff has training and experience in:

• economic modeling and forecasting
• demographic research, population estimates and projections
• statistics and econometrics

• qualitative analysis, including focus groups
• data sources and searches
• public service and data dissemination
• regional economics, planning and land use

For BBER, the focus is on New Mexico. BBER staff knows the history and understands the context. We have worked with communities all over the state and have extensive contacts in and out of government. We understand the structure of state and local governments and their finances. We know the players -- who to ask and where to go to get information. We know New Mexico data and data sources. Indeed, the BBER's Data Bank serves as a clearinghouse for all socioeconomic and census-related information in New Mexico and publishes the monthly New Mexico Business, Current Economic Report.
