The Economic Impact of Major Manufacturing and High Technology Firms on the Economy of Stillwater and Payne County, Oklahoma

Introduction

The presence of basic employers in any community has significant impacts on the

economic well being of the entire area. The Stillwater Chamber of Commerce and the Stillwater

Manufacturers’ Council requested the assistance of the authors in estimating the economic

impact of major manufacturing and high technology firms on the local economy. No

recommendations are made regarding the findings of this analysis. This report will provide

background data, review some basic concepts of community economics, and present the results

on the analysis.

Background and Known Impacts of the Firms

Information was requested from manufacturing firms from various sectors of industry.

While some firms responded fully to a questionnaire provided (Appendix A), others omitted

questions due to difficulty in providing an accurate response or privacy issues. Appropriate note

of the number of firms responding to the different questions will be made in the results. The

following is a list of 13 manufacturing and 17 high technology firms that - at the request of local

leaders – participated in the impact study (a complete list of Stillwater manufacturing and high

technology firms can be seen in Appendix B):

Table 1 reports the known impacts generated by these firms according to survey

responses for 1999. To maintain confidentiality, all information is reported in aggregate form.

The firms together employ approximately 3,486 people and have an annual payroll of

4

$89,341,437 with benefits of $27,684,488. In 1999, the manufacturing and high technology

firms purchased inputs amounting to $11,417,324 locally and $44,195,680 statewide. Annual

property taxes total to $1,065,166, and $5,884,579 was paid in utility expenditures. Charitable

and other contributions to the area were $641,878. Tables 1a and 1b separate these same data

into two components: information for manufacturing firms and information for high technology

firms.

Additional Information for Stillwater

Additional data were collected from the firms responding to the survey. Table 2 reports

information concerning the residence of employees of the manufacturing and high technology

firms. Approximately 61 percent of the employees reside within Stillwater. Another 25 percent

reside within Payne County, but outside of Stillwater, and 14 percent live outside Payne County.

The manufacturing and high technology firms attract visitors to their plants and corporate

offices. In Table 3, it can be seen that 7,168 people visited the firms in 1999. Of those visitors,

51 percent spent at least one night in Stillwater for a combined number of 4,873 overnight stays

due to the manufacturing and high technology firms.

Table 4 contains information regarding community service/volunteer hours that

employees contributed to the local area. A total of 1,058 employees responded, reporting 2,131

hours per month donated to various organizations. A simple estimate based on the number of

employees that responded would indicate that employees of the manufacturing and high

technology firms involved in this survey provide over 18,000 hours of service to the community

every month. A complete list of the organizations that employees are associated with is provided

in Appendix C. Tables 2a, 3a, and 4a provide comparable information for manufacturing firms

while Tables 2b, 3b, and 4b provide this information for the high technology firms.

Basic Concepts of Community Economics

Firms producing goods and services for sales outside the economy (i.e. manufacturing firms)

are called basic industries. They are important components of all economic systems. Two other

major components of economic systems are service firms and households. Figure 1 illustrates the

major flow of these sectors within any economy.

Basic industries are generally considered sectors of the economy, which export goods and

services. Agriculture, mining, and manufacturing are generally considered basic industries. Service

industries serve basic industries and households. Basic industries purchase labor from households

and reimburse them with dollars. Other inputs used by basic industries are purchased from local

service firms. Furthermore, local service firms also provide goods and services to households

(consumers). Naturally, these sectors purchase goods and services from outside the economy.

Local transactions determine the relationships that exist among the various firms in an economy. A

change in any one segment of a community’s economy will reverberate through the entire system of

the community.

Consider the activities of a manufacturing firm and the resulting impact on an economy.

The manufacturer is considered a basic industry because it exports its goods and services outside the

local community. The manufacturer purchases labor from households and inputs from the service

sector. As the system augments the economic welfare of the community, businesses will hire

additional people and buy more inputs from other businesses. This will induce other impacts until

the initial effect works its way through the entire local economy

The above discussion indicated how basic industries serve as the foundation of an economy

and how households and service firms are necessary to make the economy function. The 30

manufacturing firms listed in this study can be considered basic industries. Service industries

account for a substantial part of the outputs of most economics by supporting local basic industries

and households. Mathematical techniques can be used to measure the relationships between basic

industries, households, and services. A business impact model is used to estimate the economic

impact of manufacturing on the area economy.

Results of the Analysis

The Business Impact Model (BIM) is used to analyze the economic impact of manufacturing

and high technology firms in Stillwater, Oklahoma. BIM is an input-output based worksheet with

logical step-by-step procedures for estimating the impacts of businesses on employment, income,

and tax revenue with the sate and local area. For a complete description of BIM, the reader is

referred to the publication by Allen cited in the reference.

The survey responses of the 30 firms described earlier are utilized in the analysis.

Additional information provided by the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce (Appendix B) is utilized

to present a complete picture of 25 manufacturing firms and 26 high technology firms located in

Stillwater (a total of 51 firms).

Aggregate employment and income multipliers are developed for the SIC Codes related to

the Stillwater manufacturing and high technology firms for the State of Oklahoma and Payne

County using IMPLAN. IMPLAN is a computerized non-survey based input-output model

developed by the U.S. Forest Service that allows the derivation of employment and income

multipliers for any of 528 industrial sectors over state and county boundaries. Applying the

appropriate multiplier to its respective direct impact (employment or payroll) generates estimate of

total (direct, indirect, and induced) impacts made be a given industry on the economy.

The analysis is developed using the information provided by local businesses and the

chamber of commerce. All estimates are for one full year of operation (1999) and are strictly

14

dependent upon the assumptions used. Only the benefits accruing to the region are considered not

the cost of providing services; thus, this is not a benefit-cost analysis. Table 5 exhibits the impacts

of manufacturing and high technology firms on the city of Stillwater. The total impact on the city

was 8,194 jobs and $181,516,266 in income. Tables 5a and 5b provide this information

individually for manufacturing and high technology firms.

Relative Impacts on the Local Economy

Table 6 shows the relative impacts Stillwater manufacturing and high technology firms are

estimated to have on the local economy. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported actual

employment in Payne County (1999) as 45,670. Survey results indicate that approximately nine

percent of those employed were done so directly by the manufacturing and high technology firms.

The total estimated impacts account for eighteen percent of jobs in the county. The BEA reports

that total wages and salaries for the county as $727,827,000. Direct impacts are fifteen percent of

this figure, and the total impacts account for 25 percent. In the FY 1999, $12,703,126 of retail sales

taxes was remitted back to the city. The direct sales taxes paid by individuals were $1,049,729, or

eight percent. The total estimated retail sales taxes from individuals related to income generated by

the manufacturing and high technology firms was $1,712,126, or fourteen percent of the local sales

tax collections. Tables 6a and 6b provide similar information for manufacturing firms and for high

technology firms independently.

Summary

Manufacturing and high technology firms have considerable economic impacts not only as a

result of their operations, but also from the secondary economic activities that they generate. This

report attempts to help local leaders and concerned citizens understand the basic concepts of

community economic and how the manufacturing and high technology firms impact their economic

well-being. In general, results of an economic impact analysis show sizable impacts given the

assumptions set forth. If further information or assistance is required, please contact the authors.
