Company History The Microeconomic Analyst (TMA) conducts research in order to facilitate collaboration between experts and to provide the most scientific industry trend analysis available to sponsors. TMA was founded in 1984 with a vision to provide not only top quality trend analysis, but also a forum for experts to exchange information. In 1987, TMA adopted an "open research" policy in which study participants are supplied with summaries of the study's findings, so that they can share the benefit of TMA's analysis. The openness that now accompanies studies fulfills the original intention of the company's founder and contributes to links between experts who would otherwise be unaware of each other's opinions. With over 20 years of research experience, TMA has conducted over 25,000 telephone interviews and is committed to fostering quality-based, ethically-sound studies.
