Our Story

All Staff MeetingIn 1981, IEc was founded on a simple set of values that are as applicable today as they were then:

  • Do superior quality work.
  • Manage ourselves simply and efficiently.
  • Foster a positive company culture for our staff.

We grew from a handful of employees into a privately held consulting firm of over 100 talented individuals with specialties ranging from economics and business to science and environmental management.

We support natural resource managers, regulators, attorneys, and other decision makers involved in public policy development and implementation, and corporate management. Our consulting work touches upon many fields including economics, science, law, engineering, business, and information management. We excel at solving complex, multidisciplinary problems, leveraging a unique combination of analytic rigor, creativity, and insight.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?
When Mike Huguenin and Sharon Chown formed the company back in 1981, they selected the name Industrial Economics, Incorporated because of the company’s expertise in industry economics, regulatory economics, and applied mathematics. Over the years we’ve increasingly become known as IEc.
