  1. The Economic Impacts of Higher Education Institutions on Scotland: An Input-Output AnalysisK. Hermannsson, P. McGregor, N. Pappas and K.

  2. Outline • Background • Augmentations of the Scottish IO tables • Simulation approach • Simulation results • Future work

  3. Background • Part of an ESRC initiative with additional support from the Funding Councils • Our project: • Model the impacts of HEIs at a regional and national level • Use multi-sectoral regional and inter-regional models • I-O, SAM and CGE

  4. Scottish Input-Output Analysis • Separately identify HEI sector from 2004 Scottish IO accounts : • Instructive as a set of accounts • Basis for all other multi-sectoral modelling • Perform conventional demand-driven analysis • Disaggregate the Scottish IO sector into the component institutions.

  5. HEI inputs: disaggregating the column • Gross output • Purchases of all inputs • Domestic intermediate • Imports • Taxes • Wages • Other value added (rents and profits)

  6. Overview of Scottish HEIs (1)

  7. Overview of Scottish HEIs (2)

  8. Log Income

  9. HEI outputs: disaggregating the row • Value of sales: • domestic intermediate demand • household consumption • NPISH • RUK exports • ROW exports • (investment, stocks, government)

  10. Income and exports

  11. Income and exports (2)

  12. Income by source (1)

  13. Income by source (2)

  14. Student expenditure • Demand category: • Household expenditure (domestic students) • Tourism expenditure? (RUK and ROW students) • Information: • Total, RUK and ROW students • UK data on size and distribution of purchases • IO household consumption data for imports

  15. Demand driven analysis

  16. Demand driven analysis • Assumptions of demand driven IO • No supply constraints • No price effects • Linear homogenous production and demand functions

  17. Hypothetical Extraction • Hypothetical extraction of individual Scottish HEIs. • Sector is replaced by imports • Expenditure impacts of RUK and ROW students. • These students lost to Scotland

  18. GDP of Scottish HEIs

  19. GDP of Scottish HEIs

  20. Multiplier impacts • Aggregate multiplier effects of £100 million spent on HEIs (in general): output, GDP, employment, output multiplier, employment multiplier • Without offsetting reduction in government expenditure • With offsetting reduction.

  21. Impacts disaggregated by sector (1)

  22. Impacts disaggregated by sector (2)

  23. Impact of HEIs external income (1) • 26% of HEIs income external to Scotland • RUK & ROW research funding • Ex-EU tuition fees • 2002: £ 399 m • 2006: £ 533 m • ↑ 34%

  24. Impact of HEIs external income (2)

  25. Impact of HEIs external income (3)

  26. Future work • Better disaggregation of the row (Scottish Government) • Better information on student consumption • More detailed work on intermediate inputs
