About the BBR
The Bureau of Business Research (BBR) is an applied economic and business research
entity of the College of Business Administration at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
Located in the Department of Economics, the BBR exists to accomplish two primary
purposes. First, it provides relevant information and insightful data on economic
conditions, in Nebraska, the Great Plains, and the nation as a general service to
individuals and businesses in the state. Second, the BBR provides economists with
practical opportunities to conduct applied economic research and trains students
of economics and business in the conduct of applied research on timely economic
and business topics. The BBR regularly publishes reports summarizing its sponsored
research studies and also publishes outlooks and analyses in the newsletter The
Nebraska Economy.
