Development of the Economic Impact Forecast System (EIFS)--the Multiplier Aspects.

Abstract

This report presents refinements to the Economic Impact Forecast System's (EIFS) multiplier calculation that will make it more accurate and user-oriented. Two techniques for meeting National Environmental Policy Act requirements were analyzed, and EIFS was modified according to user needs and cost considerations shown by the analysis. The resultant system compares very favorably with alternative, more expensive, techniques and can provide the Department of the Army with an efficient methodology for regional economic impact assessment.
