Regional Economic Impact Analysis

Regional Economic Impact Analysis

Using standard input-output analysis the regional economic impact of a particular activity can be estimated. Estimates of economic impact are presented in terms of the following indicators:

  • value of output
  • contribution to gross state or regional product
  • employment
  • household income

Using extensions to the standard input-output model (demographic, environmental), additional regional impact indicators can be estimated, such as:

  • population
  • water consumption
  • energy balance
  • net greenhouse gas emisions
