  13. Why We Need an Economic Model for Measuring A Regional Economy! • Nations measure and manage their economy with an economic model • States and provinces measure their economies with an economic model • Rural economic regions typically don’t have an economic model • Makes it difficult to manage a rural regional economy • Difficult to plan without benchmarks • Impossible to reliably assess progress without a model • Forecasting impact of competing economic strategies is impossible • Without measurement and benchmarks there is no accountability If You Don’t Know Where You Are Going, Any Road Will Get You There! Alice in Wonderland

  14. What is Economic Impact? • Measure of spending and employment • Associated with a business, sector of the economy, or a specific project • Common ways to measure economic impact: • Jobs or person years of employment • Spending in the region (economic output) • GDP, value-added or value of capital used

  15. Types of Economic Impact • Direct Economic Impact • Employment within the region • Indirect Economic Impact • Employment in downstream industries that result from employment in the region • Induced Economic Impact • Employment generated from expenditures by individuals employed directly or indirectly • Total Economic Impact = Direct + Indirect + Induced

  16. Methodology for SI Economic Analysis • The Base: Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) RIMS II multipliers • Multipliers created to allow for regional analysis of jobs and earnings • BEA created a specialty run of multipliers for the 20-county Southern Illinois region; most rural region multipliers are from multiple MSA • GDP for multipliers was developed using a ratio method recommended by BEA (state industry jobs : state industry GDP) • Induced impacts not included in RIMS II multipliers • Model driven by BEA jobs data at the county level • Multipliers are applied to the jobs data to generate earnings, GDP and output measures • Use of multipliers was checked with BEA staff to ensure correct application

  17. Foundational Tools for Transforming Rural Regional Economies VE Regional Economic Model Launched in Southern Illinois February 2007

  18. Uniqueness of VE Economic Model • Refined to calculate Jobs, Earnings, and GDP by County & Region • It also can instantly calculate the economic impact of capital investment • Specific BEA multipliers have been built that are tied to Southern Illinois and, therefore, are not distorted by large Metro-areas nearby • The data is easily updated, but not directly accessible to the users • Will be web-based for open access to all • Allows for easy scenario-comparisons & forecasting re job creation, percentage wage growth • Developed a specific micro-model for assessing the economic impact of building a new health-care institution • Model is applicable to other economic regions with different multipliers

  19. Analysis by County or by Sub Region
