Purpose of the Model Economic Base Models are used to
understand regional economic growth and development.
Analyses from these types of models are used to design, implement, and evaluate economic development policies.

Origins of the Model
Urban and regional studies in sociology early in the century
Geography and planning in the 1950s Economic trade and macro theory in
the 1950s

Keynes Responds to Classicals
John Maynard Keynes was trying to explain the causes, consequences, and potential policy correctives for the Great Depression
Classical economists had suggested that markets would “self-correct” – Wages, prices, and interest rates would
fall to such a low point that purchasing, hiring, and investing would begin again and the economy would take-off
![Page 6: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Keynesian Critique of Classical Economists
Even if interest rates fall to low levels, businesses will not invest because they do not want to expand capacity during a depression.
They will not hire labor, no matter how low the wages, because there is no need to expand production during a depression.
When people have low wages, they cannot buy products. This reinforces the downward spiral of spending and income in a depression.

Basic & Non-basic
Basic is production for export outside the region
Non-Basic is production of goods and services for consumption inside the region – Population Dependent or Residentiary
Total Economy = Basic + Non-Basic
![Page 23: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Export Multiplier
An injection (export sales) increases income in the area by an amount greater than the sale.
This export multiplier is computed (in the simple model) as 1/(Marginal Propensity to Import) – Imports = MPI times Income
Change in Exports times Multiplier = Total Change in Income
Multiplier is larger in a region that is more fully developed (higher non-basic to basic ratio)
![Page 24: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Export - Led Growth Growth of the Export (Basic) sector
drives the economic growth of the region
Non-Basic Economic Activity is population dependent
Growth of Exports => Growth of Non-Basic (or Residentiary) Economic Activity
Economic Growth => Population Growth

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
2004 Redefinition of Economic Areas Include:
– New OMB definitions of MSAs (Feb. 2004) Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) – urban core with
populations of at least 10,000 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) – have at least one CBSA
with population exceeding 50,000 Micropolitan Statistical Areas – smaller CBSAs Combined Statistical Areas (CSA) – groupings of CBSAs that
are economically interdependent– 2000 Census data – population and commuting

BEA Economic Areas Revised periodically (1974, 1977, 1983,
1995, 2004) One or more economic nodes
– Either Metropolitan or Micropolitan Statistical Areas
Regional centers of economic activity Labor, product, and information markets Primarily defined by commuting patterns
– Serve as proxies for other markets Newspaper readership data are used in less
populated areas– Audit Bureau of Circulations for 2001

Basic Procedures: 3,141 Counties
1. Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas are defined as nodes in the Core Economic Areas (CEA)
– 344 Nodes– 1,311 Counties
2. Balance of counties (1,830) assigned to the 344 CEAs
3. CEAs aggregated to 179 BEA Economic Areas

Non-Basic Industries Examples: Retail, Commercial,
Banking, Necessities As a region grows, it is able to support
more non-basic employment As a region grows, the ratio of non-
basic employment to basic employment increases
![Page 32: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Complications Goods & services sold to visitors Public transfers used by residents to
purchase goods and services (e.g., old age, unemployment, agriculture, etc.)
Traditional basic purchases that are actually dependent on the level of regional activity (purchases by business travelers, etc.)
![Page 33: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Basic Multiplier (Total Employment) / (Basic
Employment) Total = Basic + Non-Basic “Company Towns” in rural areas have
a relatively small proportion of non-basic
Larger, more integrated and developed areas have much larger basic multipliers
![Page 34: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Use of Multiplier Estimates and projections of the base
multiplier allow analysts to calculate impacts.
For example - if the basic multiplier for an area is two, this means that for every new job in the basic sector there will be an additional job created in the non-basic sector.

Units of Measure Production
– Final goods and services– Income– Value added
Employment– Full and part time job count
Sales Revenues– Double counting problem: wholesale &
retail
![Page 36: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Employment Measures Most utilized in economic base
estimation and projection Reliable data source - ES202 Over time
– productivity changes alter the ratio of labor to output
– ratio of income to jobs changes– multiple job holding changes

Growth Vs. Development
Economic Growth– Quantitative– More of the same
Economic Development– Qualitative– Structure changes
Technological Market Changes
![Page 38: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Why Do Regions Grow? Comparative advantage => some
industries locate in an area and others do not
Cost advantages– labor– materials– transportation– taxation / regulation– proximity to markets
![Page 39: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Other Growth Factors Forward & backward linked industries Industry Clusters Quality of life Expectation of profit drives private
capital investment decisions Institutional context Labor and capital mobility

Export Base Estimation
Industries are not necessarily 100% basic or non-basic.
The share of basic in an industry may change over time.
Industries evolve over time. Structural change is difficult to model.
![Page 41: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Industrial Classification
Old System: Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)– http://www.osha.gov/oshstats/sicser.html– Most recent revision: 1987
New System: North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) – http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/– Introduced in the year 2000– Most extensive and expensive revision ever– Will cause breaks in time series
![Page 42: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Direct & Indirect Basic Direct Basic + Indirect Basic = Total
Basic Direct Basic exported out of the
region Indirect Basic sell to direct basic
firms Direct Basic + Indirect Basic = Total
Basic Direct Non-Basic + Indirect Non-Basic
= Total Non-Basic (same logic)
![Page 43: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Assumption Approachto Basic Sector
Estimation An industry may be assigned to basic or
non-basic by assumption Mining is often assigned 100% to basic Local public schools are often assigned
100% to non-basic Most industries are both
![Page 44: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Location Quotient Approach to Basic Sector Estimation
Location Quotient = (Share of Subject Area’s Employment in Industry i) / (Share of Reference Region’s Employment in Industry i)
LQ>1 => Specialization LQ>1 is not always basic (e.g.,
construction, local public school, etc.)
![Page 45: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Basic Estimate: Location Quotient Approachbi = [(ei / Ei) - (et / Et)] Ei
bi : basic employment in local area industry i
ei : total employment in local industry i
Ei : national employment in industry i
et : total local employment
Et : total national employment

Location Quotient Equation
bi = [(ei / Ei) - (et / Et)] Ei
bi = [Ei (ei / Ei)] - [Ei (et / Et)]
bi = [ ( ei / et ) - (Ei / Et) ] et
Industry i’s share of
local employment
Industry i’s share of

Productivity Adjustment
If local industry is more productive, less labor is required to produce each unit of output.
If the local industry is more productive than that of the nation, the location quotient understates the degree of specialization in the industry.
![Page 52: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Consumption Adjustment
If local area consumes a greater amount of the output of the industry per employee of the industry, the location quotient approach over states the exports.
Method 1: Population ratio replaces total employment ratio.
Method 2: Personal income ratio replaces the total employment ratio.
![Page 53: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
National Export Adjustment
This location quotient approach assumes a closed economy - no national exports of products.
If the nation is a net exporter in industry I: – the method overstates the local area’s
consumption of the product of industry i and
– the method understates the local area’s basic employment in the industry
![Page 54: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Cross-Hauling Adjustment
The location quotient approach assumes no importing of products from a basic industry.
Cross-hauling (the importing of products for local consumption in an export industry) leads to:– an overstatement of the local area’s
consumption of the product of industry i and– an underestimate of the local area’s basic
employment in the industry
![Page 55: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Derivation of the LQ Formula
1) ei = bi + ni
2) bi = ei - ni
3) ni = ( Ei / Et ) et
Share of industry i in national employment
Local non-basic
employment
in industry i
Local basic employment in industry i
![Page 56: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Derivation (cont.)
4) bi = ei - [ ( Ei / Et ) et ]Divide by Ei and rearrange terms
5) bi = [(ei / Ei) - (et / Et)] Ei
Another way to estimate basic employment in industry i:
bi = [ 1 - ( 1 / LQ i ) ] e i

Minimum Requirements Approach
Developed by Ullman and Dacey in 1960
Makes comparisons between similarly sized (population) areas
Accounts for differences in the sizes of regions– Recall - smaller regions have a smaller
share of non-basic employment

Reference Region for Minimum Requirements
Collect data for similarly sized (population) areas.
From among these, identify the the area that has the smallest share of industry i in its total employment.
This is the minimum share region.

Location Quotient Approach vs. Minimum Requirements
Approach
bi = [ ( ei / et ) - ( emi / emt ) ] et
Location Quotient Approach
bi = [ ( ei / et ) - (Ei / Et) ] et
Minimum Requirements Approach
Share of industry i in minimum share area

MR Approach Assumes that the Minimum Requirements Area has
No Exports
If (ei / et) = (emi / emt) Self-sufficient
If (ei / et) > (emi / emt) Exports
If (ei / et) < (emi / emt) Imports

Extensions to MR Approach
sij = ai + bi (log10 Pj)– sii = minimum share– Pj = log of median population value for
each size category Larger population => must have a
larger share to have any employment classified as basic.
Larger population => More will be classified as non-basic => higher multiplier
![Page 62: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Minimum Requirements Example
Compared to a minimum share for areas with similar population sizes:
(10 / 100) compared to (5 / 100) => Basic = 5, Non-Basic = 5
Compared to a minimum share for areas with larger population sizes:
(10 / 100) vs. (800 / 10,000) => Basic = 2, Non-Basic = 8
Assume: Local area employment is 100 and 10 of these jobs are in industry i (10% share)
![Page 63: Economic Base Model](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/56815a92550346895dc80a67/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Minimum Requirements Given: sij = ai + bi (log10 Pj)
sii = minimum share larger area has more non-basic production.
For higher population areas, the minimum share is larger.
Compared to larger areas, a greater portion of local area employment will be classified as non-basic than if compared with smaller areas.
Compared with larger areas as the minimum share region, our multipliers will be larger because Non-Basic to Basic ratio increases.

More Extensions to MR Approach
Productivity adjustment May need to include a consumption
adjustment parameter as the method often overstates basic employment

Summary According to the Economic Base
Model, a region’s growth is determined by the growth of the export (basic) sectors.
Approaches to estimating the basic content in each industry include– assumption– location quotient– minimum requirements
