A method for determining an economic impact of a candidate event includes receiving an event type identifier representing an event type of a candidate event to occur, and building a reference data store including historical transaction data records of payment transactions occurring in reference geographic areas associated with a reference event having the event type identifier. The method also includes generating a reference model from the historical transaction data records the models a reference number of active accounts and active merchants within a reference geographic area during a period of time associated with the reference event occurring in the geographic area. The method further includes determining a predicted number of active accounts and active merchants within the target geographic area using the reference model, and determining a predicted consumer spend using a predicted spend model. The method also includes generating an economic impact report including the consumer spend.
