LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Micronomics, a SourceHOV company, and a leading economic research and consulting firm in Los Angeles, recently completed an economic impact report in which it determined that Los Angeles County reaped significant benefit from hosting the 2013 Rose Bowl Game and Rose Parade on January 1, 2013.  The study concluded that these events added at least $306 million in direct and indirect spending benefits to Los Angeles.

The benefits quantified in this report include approximately:

• $140 million in incremental spending by visiting attendees
• $4 million in incremental spending by out-of-town event participants
• $15 million spent by the Tournament of Roses Association
• $142 million in multiplier effects, including $22 million in state and local tax revenue

These economic benefits are equivalent to the creation of an additional 3,150 full-time jobs in Los Angeles County.

The Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission (LASEC) commissioned Micronomics to  measure the economic impact of the Rose Bowl Game and Tournament of Roses parade.

"The Tournament of Roses Association has long known that its iconic events bring significant positive fiscal impact to the region," said Tournament of Roses Executive Director Bill Flinn.
