Abstract: State and local economic planners historically have been plagued by the sensitivity of regional economics to exogenously determined economic forces. Economic changes may be caused by fluctuations in regional exports, federal government expenditures, and/or externally financed investments, among other factors. A major task of regional economic analysts, therefore, is to develop policies and plans that will reduce the effects and costs of exogenous shocks. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of a polynomial goal programming model in establishing a benchmark industrial structure which could be used to guide planning and policy efforts.
