Welcome to MassEconomy.org - your source for authoritative information about recent economic stimulus programs enacted in Massachusetts and about the Massachusetts economy in general. This site is produced by the Massachusetts Economic Assessment and Analysis Project (MEAAP), which is a joint initiative of the University of Massachusetts Boston and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. There are several major sections of the site: Economic Stimulus Bill Programs, Massachusetts CEO Survey, Economic Links Library, and Massachusetts Economic Regions.

2003 and 2006 Economic Stimulus Bill Programs
This section reports detailed information about 11 economic stimulus programs funded under the 2003 Economic Stimulus Bill (PDF), and reports preliminary information about nine programs newly funded under the 2006 Economic Stimulus Bill (PDF). You can view the information in an Overview that summarizes all the program information, an Organizational chart that shows the relationships among the Economic Stimulus programs and agencies, and detailed Fact Sheets for each 2003 program. You can also find most of this data on our Excel spreadsheets, which are archived quarterly.

Massachusetts CEO Survey
MEAAP has initiated a periodic survey of Chief Executive Officers of businesses throughout the state, conducted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell Poll. The survey tracks CEO perceptions of a wide range of economic trends, including the performance of the national and state economies, hiring and investment plans, and impediments to business expansion in the state.
