Harbor Economic Impact Model Downloads
You can download the Harbor Economic Impact Model (HEIM) and its manual at the links below. These files are provided as-is without further support. The 2004 model does not seem to function in newer versions of Excel, but the 2016 model has eliminated the user interface and macros, so it should be functional but less user friendly.
