Abstract(s)
This paper discusses Higher Education Institutions’(HEIs) impact on regional economy. The case study
was built over a Portuguese Higher Education Institution - the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB). That
study intended to estimate the total impact of IPB and the approach followed was initially based on the
demand-side approach (Caffrey & Isaacs, 1971). However, during the study it was necessary to develop a
simpler model to estimate the economic impact of HEIs. The simplified model aimed to be a more direct
and easier alternative to estimate HEI’s impact, also allowing comparisons between different HEI’s results.
