The Center for Economic Research (CER) provides economic analysis to private businesses and government agencies in the greater Louisiana region. Housed within the College of Business at Louisiana Tech University, the Center serves to connect the university community with economic development efforts in the state by supplying detailed economic impact analysis of both private enterprise and government policy initiatives.

The Center also partners with faculty in co-curricular efforts by producing the quarterly Regional Economic Analysis of Louisiana (REAL) Report with College of Business economics and finance students. Annually, the CER produces the Louisiana Economic Abstract which outlines macroeconomic trends at the state and MSA level.
