摘要
One of the most common tasks asked of applied economists is to assess the economic impacts of a local economic shock on the local region—e.g., a new manufacturing plant, a large development project, closure of a government facility, a large new government program. The main economic challenge is the inherent endogeneity from labor demand and supply interacting—e.g., in-migration spurs new employment growth with the reverse holding as well. A new industry locating in an area, (a) directly increases local employment (and income) directly from the new industry’s hires, (b) indirectly increased impacts through the expansion of the industry’s local input-output supply chain; and (c) induced effects through the spending of the newly hired workers (in parts (a) and (b) above) on local goods and services such as groceries. Summing the direct, indirect, and induced effects, one then derives the total local economic impact. This seminar will discuss how to estimate these multiplier effects for the rest of the local economy. A brief discussion of their development in the 1930s and what they are used for. The presentation ends with one or two empirical examples depending on time.
