Methodology

ERI's founder first developed the concepts related to the use of simple linear regression models for area wage and salary differentials in 1974. ERI's present multiple regression techniques were developed in the late 1980s and are continually refined each year. Cost of living (COL) models originated in 1989 as the result of subscriber requests that ERI research and report area cost differentials in addition to wage differentials. COL analyses were further in demand because the Bureau of Labor Statistics discontinued its Urban Family of Four Index. ERI methodology has benefited greatly in recent years due to the refinement of analyses, as well as the increasing availability of survey data relating to salaries, benefits, and costs.

Subscribers include corporate compensation, relocation, and Human Resources professionals, as well as independent consultants and counselors.
