The Two-Tier Concept for Economic Impact Analysis: Introduction and User Instructions


Book Description

This report describes the two-tier concept for economic analysis of impacts associated with new Department of Defense programs. The first tier is the Economic Impact Forecast System (EIFS), which is used for conducting a preliminary screening of the impacts. The second tier is the Local Economic Consequences System (LECS), which provides a detailed analysis of realignment impacts. Both systems are available through the Environmental Technical Information System. Several other economic impact analysis methodologies were also examined. This study found that a combination of the two-tier concept with the Regional Industrial Multiplier System/Bureau of Reclamation Economic Assessment Model methodologies would provide the best system for analyzing large, sector-specific impacts. General instructions for using EIFS and LECS are provided. (Author) Equations, user input variables, and definitions are also provided.













Economic Analysis of the DCFR


Book Description

The Economic Impact Group (EIG) was created to support the work on the DCFR with insights from law and economics. It brings together a number of leading European law and economics scholars. The Group looked at the main elements of the DCFR with two questions in mind: from an economic perspective, is it sensible to harmonize private law across Europe for this specific element, and is the solution chosen in the DCFR optimal? This book presents the outcome of the work of the EIG. It deals with key issues such as the function of contract law, contract formation, good faith, non-discrimination, specific performance versus damages, standard contractual terms and consumer protection in contract law. The EIG complements the work of the drafters of the DCFR with insightful and critical assessments, based on the well-established law and economics literature.

The Socioeconomic Impact Of Resource Development


Book Description

Large-scale industrial and energy-development projects are profoundly affecting the social and economic climate of rural areas across the nation, creating a need for extensive planning information, both to prepare for the effects of such developments and to meet state and federal environmental impact assessment requirements. This book examines alternative methods of modelling the economic, demographic, public service, fiscal, and social impacts of major development projects. The authors provide a synthesis of the conceptual bases, estimation techniques, data requirements, and types of output available, focusing on models that address multiple impact dimensions and produce information at the county and subcounty levels. They also look at the kind of data each model produces in each impact category.
