I read the IMPLAN - RIMS2 comparison sheet. What I am trying to understand is the difference (if any) of the IMPLAN concept and RIMS 2 concept in terms of personal income, which in the comparison. I am making some observations by looking through the respective manuals. But do you know if there are difference, and if so what they are?

I have seen two different relationships in the literature:
A = V^T - U
and
A = UV^-T
(Where V^T is the transpose of the Make Matrix, and V^-T is the inverse of the transpose of the Make Matrix)
Both of these equations don't work for the IMPLAN data for the US for 2010, simply using the default Make, Use and Direct Coefficients Matrices output by IMPLAN.
I can provide my calculation spreadsheet if you'd like.
Any assistance you could provide in the correct relationship between these three matrices would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I figured out that there were slight variations in Study area multipliers (e.g. 1.46565 vs 1.46912) when study was replicated after four years. Do you think multipliers can vary slightly due to periodic online update of IMPLAN? What do you think a possible reason behind modest variations in multipliers such as I mentioned above?]]> Data Questions Fri, 17 May 2013 19:24:02 +0000 http://implan.com/v4/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=80&id=15844&Itemid=35#15844 http://implan.com/v4/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=80&id=15844&Itemid=35#15844 Data Questions Thu, 16 May 2013 18:58:36 +0000 http://implan.com/v4/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=80&id=15840&Itemid=35#15840 http://implan.com/v4/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=80&id=15840&Itemid=35#15840
We are thinking about purchasing a State Package data set, and just had a quick question. I currently use Microsoft Access to dig more in depth to some of the tables that IMPLAN produces after I aggregate data, and I would like to know if there are county IDs included in all these files. For example, if I wanted to look at the RegionalCommodityBalances to determine Foreign exports by sector, is there a line for each county ID, so that I can get the same level of detail at the county level that I currently get at the state level in the State Totals?

The first is very general. I'm wondering if you could point me to the best resource to explain how your deflators work (i.e. I'd like to better understand what deflators IMPLAN is using when I, for example, have an event year of 2004, IMPLAN data from 2009, and a dollar year for view of 2012. The second question is more specific about deflators past the IMPLAN data year. So in my previous example, what is happening past 2009 (the year of the IMPLAN data)? Is this part of the updates? Is there some other calculation or assumption being used?
Thanks!

I am hoping that I can get some assistance in regard to the Implan software. I am a graduate student and I am working on my final paper which includes updating an older economic impact report. My professor used version 2.0 and is not familiar with the latest version. Therefore I am somewhat lost. :/ I have purchased data for my study region and now I need to build my model to create tables like so:

Table 2: Output Impact

Industry SIC Code Direct Indirect Induced Total

Child Day Care Services 469 $16,358,496 $4,368,213 $4,551,630 $25,278,339
Food & Beverage Stores 405 $14,240,636 $2,590,045 $0 $16,830,681

Net Output Impact $2,117,860 $1,778,168 $4,551,630 $8,447,658

Output Impact Multiplier 4.0

The data used previously are based on reports titled report IM020, IM010, etc (example attached). SAM and Type 1 multipliers were used.

Can anyone please help and direct me to where I can find this information so I can create the above tables for total output, employment and value-added?

I very much appreciate it!!

This morning I worked on state of Texas 2009 IMPLAN data in two different ways. I used the aggregated state total data for year 2009 and obtained the economic impact of sector 16 in the whole state. Likewise,from county data, I analyzed economic impacts of sector 16 for all the counties within the state. And I summed up all the direct and total economic impacts of all counties.

I saw the direct economic impacts from both analysis do match. This was expected as sum of all county equal to state. However, when I summed up total economic impacts of all counties, they do differ with the total economic impact based on state data. I have used the same model(econometric RPC)to estimate economic impacts. What is the theoretical reasoning behind mismatch in numbers in both approaches and which is the correct way to analyze data?]]> Data Questions Mon, 06 May 2013 20:40:03 +0000 http://implan.com/v4/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=80&id=15782&Itemid=35#15782 http://implan.com/v4/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=80&id=15782&Itemid=35#15782
