Abstract: The paper presents the results of an analysis, using Keynesian local open economy multipliers, of the impact of Lancaster University upon income and employment in the local city and surrounding hinterland area. The results of the University impact analysis are contrasted with similar analyses of Heysham 2 nuclear power station and two local manufacturing firms. The results of the impact analysis are used in a speculative manner to consider the effects of a planned expansion of student numbers at Lancaster in the 1990s.
