In March 2018, the Indiana University Public Policy Institute (PPI) and Early Learning Indiana brought together representatives from across the state to convene the Economic Impact of Early Care and Education Research Project Advisory Board.

Estimates were calculated for the state, three urban counties, and three rural counties. (author abstract)
