Evaluating the Economic Structure of a Rural Area: Demonstration of an Input-Output Analysis (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Evaluating the Economic Structure of a Rural Area: Demonstration of an Input-Output Analysis
The interindustry framework provides a powerful approach to area economic structural analysis. When implemented empirically, such a framework provides an analytic data system which indicates in a consistent manner the levels of the various area economic activities as well as their economic interrelationships. Data arrayed in an interindustry framework provide much of the empirical input required for application of a wide variety of analytic techniques, including input-output analysis, mathematical programming, and simulation.
The Economic Research Service is developing an extended interindustry inter actions information system designed to be implemented largely with secondary data for the rapid low-cost calculation of sector interrelationships. When fully developed, the system will provide a description of economic structure which will be a useful detailed evaluation of development potentials of specific multicounty areas. A byproduct of this effort has been the construction and implementation of a simple model which illustrates many of the characteristics of the more com prehensive system. This report summarizes the results of this illustrative model as applied to a lo - county area centered around Asheville.
To provide an understanding of the structure of the Asheville area economy, these results are preceded by related background information. The report describes the generally low level of area income and the distribution which results in a large proportion of low-income families. The income level and distribution problem is explained in terms of local commitments to low-wage occupations and to nationally declining industries. Using interindustry flow analysis, prospects are appraised for creating new jobs and improving the area income picture through expanding markets for local products.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes Asheville, NC, specifically the industries, employment, income, and population trends. It provides an in-depth look at the economic disparities that have developed throughout the decades and what impact this has had on residents. The author utilizes 1960s-era data to support arguments on how national economic trends influenced the industries that thrived and declined locally. The author also takes aim at occupational and industrial composition, arguing that the persistent presence of low-wage sectors and nationally declining industries in this North Carolina city are key factors in its persistent low per capita and median income when compared to the country as a whole. This book will be of great interest to economists, particularly those specializing in regional economics, economic sociology, and labor economics.
