What’s new in IMPLAN version 3.0 With IMPLAN system 3.0 we’re going to change the way you think about impact analysis by providing you with new capabilities no one else has to offer. Have you ever wanted to see how the impact of an event in your study area ripples into a larger region or even several regions? With IMPLAN Multi Regional I/O (MRIO) modeling it is possible to track the flow of all 440 IMPLAN Commodities from any county in the US to every other county in the US, allowing you to track and model how the effect of your impact disperses over any given geographical area. The MRIO function of IMPLAN 3 will help answer questions like: what is the impact of rural investment on the regional city core? Where do local businesses source their inputs and where are their products consumed? How does a business opening or closing effect not only the local study area but the adjacent cities/states? IMPLAN V3 also sports a simplified user interface designed to take the repetitive and time consuming tasks out of impact modeling; with pre-delineated activity types, an embedded keyword based Sector lookup, and improved SAM editing, creating IMPLAN models with version 3 is easier than ever before. New methods for tracking regional purchases not allow for the multi-regional functionality, but also improve standard regional input-output results. IMPLAN V3 will also learn and store your personal preferences allowing you to see just the elements you need and not be distracted by unneeded details or options. As well as a host of tools designed to allow import and export of the IMPLAN data directly into a wide range of tools including excel. All provided at a reasonable cost, so that everyone can have access to the information they need to do impact modeling. Finding training and help for your IMPLAN v3 and study questions is getting simpler as well. IMPLAN v3 comes equipped with a self- updating help system that will deliver the most current help documentation possible. We are also redesigning the IMPLAN.com website to better suit your support and ordering needs. Want to be the first to try out Version 3? Sign up for one of our Version 3 Beta classes here. |

Expenditures on capital goods by industry |
|
Tuesday, 26 May 2009 |
We are often asked the question: what investment does industry X make? In the IMPLAN capital institution vector, we can only see the spending on capital goods by all industries combined. The BEA (source: www.bea.gov/industry/capflow_data.htm ) provided this data for the 1997 Benchmark. However, this is the most current data they have available, as the 2002 compilation was dropped due to budget cuts. We have created a dummy IMPLAN model based on the 440 sectors of the current 2007 IMPLAN sectoring scheme, so that the user can import these spending patterns into their impact analysis. This spending pattern (per dollar of capital expenditures) is "the distribution of new structures, equipment, and software" purchases by an industry. This dummy model can be downloaded from the website downloads>implan supplemental files>2007 to current implan supplemental files, or click here.
