HESTEFORSK In depth understanding and visualization of socio-economic effects of the horse industry H-20-47-566

The background for this project is the need for up-to-date statistics and knowledge of the economic impact of the horse industry both at national and regional levels. This project is closely related to the newly developed Swedish Industry model, "Hästnäringen i siffror", we will improve the Swedish model and we will do similar work for Norway. Project results will enable a comparison between the Swedish and Norwegian horse industries and the examination of success factors for individual enterprises operating in different geographical regions and segments of the industry. Overall, the project results contribute to in-depth descriptions and clearer presentations of the horse industry's socio economic impact for use in strategic decision making, at local, regional and/or national levels.
