Economic Impacts of New and Expanding Firms in the Upper Great Plains

Review of Agricultural Economics, 1992, vol. 14, issue 1, 81-91

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify new or growing basic sector businesses in Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota and to determine their contribution to the state economy, as measured by their employment creation and their expenditures to suppliers within the state. Data from 314 firms were used in the analysis. The average firm reported annual expenditures within the state of $3.8 million or 55 percent of its total outlays, but the percentages of nonlabor expenditures made within the state were quite variable. Expansion of existing firms accounted for 45 percent of all new jobs created by the group, while relocating firms were responsible for 33 percent and new firms were credited with almost 23 percent.
