At the bottom of an unrelated report. This is an old trick anyway. Their footnotes are probably packed with links to other HF studies. It all gets very incestuous. "We're right and we can prove it. Just go to this other study where we said the same thing. See? Told you!"

In The Foundry post above, each name linked to a more detailed article on the economic condition of the company.
Since the Foundry post had no bibliography but linked only to press stories, I have to wonder why you asked in the first place. There's no equivalency between a blog post and a report, even a Heritage Foundation report. That's doubly so for an academic report.
