TRANSCRIPT

  • Input Output AnalysisMK Geografi EkonomiDept. Geografi FMIPA UI

  • Next

  • A simple model of tradeExportsImportsInternal Goodsand Services

  • The Economic Base ModelET = Total EmploymentEX = Export EmploymentEL = Local Employment

    ET = EX + EL (1)

    Define a = EL/ETMultiply by ET and substitute into (1): ET = EX + aETSolve for ET:

    ET = ( 1/1-a)EX

  • Example, Economic Base ModelIf a = .67

    Then:( 1/1-.67) =( 1/.33) = 3

    If EX = 500, then ET = 3 x 500 or 1500.

    If EX rises to 750, ET becomes 3 x 750 or 2250

    and if EX falls back to 400, ET declines to 1200

  • Measurement of the Economic Base MultiplierDirect SurveysShort-cut Approaches:Assumption or AssignmentMinimum RequirementsLocation QuotientsIndustry Specific Models:Input-outputRegional econometric models

  • Example of Minimum RequirementsIf total employment was 100,000, then minimum requirementsis 6%, or 6,000. If actual employment were 10,000, 4,000 wouldbe assigned to exports.Repeat for all industries, sum local shares to obtain a(Thousands)

  • What are Multipliers?Multipliers measure total change throughout the economy from one unit change for a given sector.

  • Three Types of Multipliersare calculated from Model1.Output2.Employment3.Income

  • Three levels of MultipliersType I MultipliersType II Multipliers Type III Multipliers

  • Type I MultipliersInclude direct or initial spendingInclude indirect spending or businesses buying and selling to each otherThe multiplier is direct plus indirect effect divided by direct effect

  • Type II MultipliersIncludes Type I Multiplier effectsPlus household spending based on the income earned from the direct and indirect effects the induced effects

  • TYPE III MULTIPLIERSType III Multipliers are modified Type II multipliers.Therefore, Type III Multipliers also include the direct, indirect, and induced effects.Type III Multipliers adjust Type II Multipliers based on spending patterns amongst different income groups.

  • Type I Multipliers include:DirectIndirect (Business Spending)Type I Multipliers are derived from theTotal Requirements TableIn math, this is: X = (1-A)-1 Y

  • Other MultipliersEmployment MultipliersType IType IIType IIIIncome MultipliersType IType IIType III

  • Example -Type I Employment Multiplier

    Agricultural Sector Type I Employment Multiplier = 1.43When the Agricultural Sector realizes a 1 employee change, total employment in the study area changes by 1.43 jobs from direct and indirect linkages

  • Example Type II Employment Multiplier

    Agricultural Sector Type II Employment Multiplier = 2.25

    When the Agricultural Sector realizes a 1 employee change, total employment in the study area changes by 2.25 jobs from direct, indirect and induced linkages

  • Breakdown of Type II Employment Multiplier -Agricultural Sector

    Direct Effects = 1.00Indirect Effects = 0.43Induced Effects = 0.82

    Total= 2.25

  • Example Type I Income Multiplier

    Agricultural Sector Type I Income Multiplier = 1.96

    When the Agricultural Sector realizes a $1.00 change in income, total income in the study area changes by $1.96 from direct and indirect linkages

  • Example -Type II Income Multiplier

    Agricultural Sector Type II Income Multiplier = 2.50 When the Agricultural Sector realizes a $1.00 change in income, total income in the study area changes by $2.50 from direct, indirect and induced linkages

  • Breakdown of Type II Income Multiplier -Agricultural SectorDirect Effects =$1.00Indirect Effects =$0.96Induced Effects =$0.54

    Total=$2.50

  • Caution When Using MultipliersMultiplier values include direct effectsDo not aggregate sector multipliers to derive an aggregate multiplierBe cautious of large multipliersBe cautious in using a multiplier from another study area

  • Any Questions?

  • Econ Base vs Input-Output ModelsLeontief developed an input-output method for estimating economic impacts and tracing the flows of dollars. Leontief later won the Nobel Prize in 1973, largely related to this work.Input-Output expands heavily upon the economic base model of the economy.

    Input-Output AnalysisMany different industries/sectorsRipple (multiplier) effects contained in the interindustry transactionsAnalyzes changes and impacts at a sector by sector level, tracing flows of dollars between industriesMuch more precise, but Economic Base TechniquesBasic and Non-basic sectorsRipple (multiplier) effects analyzed at the B/NB levelAnalyzes changes and impacts at a gross B/NB levelVery general, but

  • The Economic Base Theoretical ModelThe EB model assumes that the basic sector is the primary cause of local economic growth; that is, it is the economic base of the local economy. Non-Local $$$sBasic Sector EmploymentNon-Basic Sector EmploymentLocal $$$sThe Local Economy

  • Input-Output ModelThe IO model is centered on the idea of inter-industry transactions: Industries use the products of other industries to produce their own products.For example - automobile producers use steel, glass, rubber, and plastic products to produce automobiles.Outputs from one industry become inputs to another.When you buy a car, you affect the demand for glass, plastic, steel, etc.Taken from a Power Point presentation prepared by Pam Perlich at the University of Utah. http://www.business.utah.edu/~bebrpsp/IO/IO.ppt

  • Basic Input-Output LogicAutomobile Factory

  • From the Tire Producers PerspectiveTire FactorySchool DistrictsTrucking CompaniesAutomobile FactoryIndividual ConsumersINTER-MEDIATE DEMANDFORTIRESFINAL DEMANDFOR TIRES

  • Input-Output Analysis: The BIG PointThe implicit assumption in economic base techniques is that each basic sector job has a multiplier (or ripple) effect on the wider economy because of purchases of non-basic goods and services to support the basic production activity. (the Basic Sector drives the Non-basic Sector)However, we know that Non-basic sector businesses purchase Non-basic goods and services and Basic sector businesses purchase Basic sector goods and services. There are inter-industry linkages not contained within the Economic Base model. The economy is much more complex than the economic base techniques allow or attempt to model.The central advantage of Input-Output analysis is that it tries to estimate these inter-industry transactions and use those figures to estimate the economic impacts of any changes to the economy. Instead of assuming a change in a basic sector industry having a generalized multiplier effect, the IO approach estimates how many goods and services from other sectors are needed (inputs) to produce each dollar of output for the sector in question. Therefore it is possible to do a much more precise calculation of the economic impacts of a given change to the economy.

  • IO Conceptualization of the EconomyThe major conceptual step is to divide the economy into purchasers and suppliers.--Primary Suppliers: They sell primary inputs (labor, raw materials) to other industries. Payments to these suppliers are primary inputs because they generate no further sales. (example: Households)--Intermediate Suppliers: They purchase inputs for processing into outputs they supply to other firms or to final purchasers. (example: Automaker)--Intermediate Purchasers: They purchase outputs of suppliers for use as inputs for further processing. (example: Automaker)--Final Purchasers: Purchase the outputs of suppliers in their final form and for final use. (example: Households)Intermediate Suppliers and Intermediate Purchasers are the same thing!Primary Suppliers and Final Purchasers may or may not be the same entities. When they are the same (households), these activities are understood as separate activities.

  • Simplified Circular Flow View of The EconomyHouseholds buy the output of business: final demand or Yi

    BusinessesBusinesses purchase from other businesses to produce their own goods / services. This is intermediate demand or xij (output of industry i sold to industry j)

    Households sell labor & other inputs to business as inputs to productionTaken from a Power Point presentation prepared by Pam Perlich at the University of Utah. http://www.business.utah.edu/~bebrpsp/IO/IO.ppt

  • The Structure of IO AnalysisThe ultimate goal of the Input-Output Analysis technique is to generate a Total Requirements Table that shows the flows of dollars between industries in the production of output for a given sector.To arrive at this final result, IO Analysis requires two earlier steps:1) Transactions table: Contains basic data on the flows of goods and services among suppliers and purchasers during a study year.2) Direct requirements table: Derived from the transactions table, this shows the inputs required directly from different suppliers by each intermediate purchaser for each unit of output that purchaser produces.Input output analysis can be thought of as documenting and exploring the precise systems of interindustry exchange through which different components of regional product become different components of regional income.

  • The Total Requirements ResultsWhen: there are Final Sales of Agriculture = 200 and Final Sales of Manufacturing = 1002) we see a Total Economic Impact = 763.1, with that impact broken down as:1) 300.0 in Initial Sales to Final Purchasers2) 300.0 in Total Direct Sales3) 163.1 in Total Indirect SalesThe 300 units in Final Sales generate an additional 463.1 units of economic activity. This illustrates the multiplier effect captured by IO models.

  • RIMS MultipliersThe Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) produces State Level Regional Input-Output Multipliers by industrial sector which are often used as the basis for constructing an IO model. Originally developed in the 1970s, RIMS (Regional Industrial Multiplier System) multipliers are used for impact analysis for a given economy.RIMS II data were developed in the 1980s (latest version is 1998) Users can purchase data from BEA for $275 per region. BEA provides handbooks for the use of this data. County or multi-county regional RIMS data come in two series Series I: for 490 detailed industries Series II: for 38 industry aggregationsEmpirical analysis shows that RIMS II data is accurate within 5% of locally developed industry multipliers.Advantages of the RIMS Multipliers: 1) Cheap2) Can be compared across regions 3) Detailed industries4) Updated regularly to reflect new data

  • Example RIMS Multipliers1Total dollar impact due to $1 in output in the industry. 2Change in earnings due to $1 change in industry. 3Change in employment resulting from $1 million increase in output delivered to final demand.

  • For More Info on RIMS MultipliersThe Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has several web resources on RIMS Multipliers and how they are prepared:RIMSII Home Pagehttp://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/regional/rims/

  • The Problems with IO AnalysisPractical IssuesData needs and complexity: IO models are tremendously complex and very data hungry. This typically places these models in the hands of experts.Theoretical IssuesTime/Data issues: Usually a single years data are used to develop the Total Requirements Table. But 1) purchases may actually reflect a longer term investment and 2) short term trends may impact the data.Stability of the technical coefficients over time: Technology changes, prices change, and demand changes, all affecting the coefficients in the Tot Reqs Table. This can impact the results if the coefficients are out of date.IO assumes a linear relationship between increasing demand for inputs and outputs: This assumes away 1) externalities and 2) increasing/ decreasing returns to scale.Industrial categorization: IO models still assume that each industry 1) has a single, homogeneous production function and 2) each produces one product. These assumptions do not reflect the real economy very well.

  • The Power of IO ModelsDespite these problems IO analysis is a tremendously popular and powerful analytical tool.The chief value of regional input-output analysis is in its descriptive analytical power. (Bendavid-Val, p.113)As a descriptive tool, input-output tables:-present an enormous quantity of information in a concise, orderly, and easily understood fashion; -provide a comprehensive picture of the interindustry structure of the regional economy; -point up the strategic importance of various industries and sectors; -highlight possible opportunities for strengthening regional income and employment multiplication. (Bendavid-Val, p.113)Urban Planners should be capable of understanding the structure, assumptions, and data requirements of Input-Output Analysis. While you may not be performing this analysis in your jobs, you almost certainly will come across this type of work sometime in your career.
