Measurement of the Impact of Recreation Investments on a Local Economy

Robert J. Kalter and William B. Lord

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1968, vol. 50, issue 2, 243-256

Abstract: A from-to type of interindustry model is formulated and empirically implemented to quantify local economic impacts of a transfer nature arising from outdoor recreation. Direct, indirect, and induced sales, income, and employment impacts are derived and multiplier values are calculated. Relationships among the from-to model, supplemental studies, and the analysis of regional benefits for governmental investment decisions are discussed.
