Draft 1.1 -- Not for Distribution or Circulation <br />IMPLAN Leakage Analysis <br />A more comprehensive leakage analysis is possible using IMPLAN, the Minnesota Input - <br />Output Model used extensively by economic development agencies nationwide. <br />IMPLAN corrects, unifies, and fills in gaps (like farmers and self - employed individuals) <br />in the Economic Census data. It also can model how changes in one industry can lead to <br />changes in other industries (indirect effects) and changes in personal consumption <br />(induced effects). <br />IMPLAN combines the 1,100 NAICS sectors into about 460 model - specific sectors. For <br />example, multiple wholesale sectors in NAICS are reduced to one wholesale sector in <br />IMPLAN. It's possible to model local self - reliance by looking at the value of the <br />Regional Purchasing Coefficient (RPC), which estimates how much of Total Gross <br />Demand is currently met by local industry. The demand figure includes both local and <br />nonlocal consumption. Multiplying Total Gross Demand by 1 -RPC shows how much <br />additional industry is possible to meet local demand (without reducing production for <br />export). <br />When IMPLAN is used to study small areas, as is the case in this study, the model has <br />many zero - activity sectors. To model a self - reliant economy, these sectors — most in <br />manufacturing — need to be created with a minimum of one worker. "Production <br />functions" based on national composites of industries are then imported to show the <br />linkage of new sector's expenditures with other local industries. <br />Chart 11 shows the total impact of ramping up industry in Cabarrus to go 25% of the way <br />to meet total existing local demand. Specifically, 25% localization would generate 9.491 <br />new jobs: 5,208 directly, 2,157 indirectly, and 2,127 induced. Note that the estimate of <br />5,208 direct jobs is close to the 7,073 jobs new predicted with the BALLE calculator. <br />IMPLAN predicts, moreover, that these new jobs will lead to $397 million more in wages <br />each year, $676 million in additional annual value -added production, and $59 million in <br />indirect business taxes. <br />Chart 11 <br />Economic Impacts of a 25% Shift to Self- Reliance — 2009 <br />(IMPLAN Input- Output Model Summary) <br />ImpactType Employment Laborincome TotalValueAdded Output Indirect Buz Taxes <br />Direct Effect <br />5,2081 <br />$243,860,073 <br />$413,342,572 <br />$1,040,047,295 <br />$29,582,085 <br />Indirect Effect <br />2,157 <br />$87,198,418 <br />$137,584,322 <br />$241,148,332 <br />$12,093,131 <br />Induced Effect <br />2,127 <br />$65,957,201 <br />$125,513,746 <br />$199,307,538 <br />$17,503,676 <br />Total Effect <br />9,491 <br />$397,015,692 <br />$676,440,641 <br />$1,480,503,165 <br />$59,178,892 <br />24 <br />Attachment number 1 <br />1 -4 Page 326 <br />
