Through their activities Universities can impact the economies of local and regional communities. In 2008, as a land grant university, Cornell employed more than 17,000 people and spent more than 900 million dollars in its purchasing activities and approximately 300 million dollars on construction projects. The Cornell University Economic Impact on New York State report showed that through patterns of purchasing and investment, Cornell could create stability in the local and state economy. During the summer and fall of 2008, in partnership with fellow students and under the supervision of Professor Kieran Donaghy, I analyzed the report data using a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM).
