IMPLAN Pro: Scenario Results Toolbar

INTRODUCTION:

Scenario Results displays the results of the impact. When the Scenario Results page opens, the name of the displayed Scenario is listed at the top of the screen along with the model name. 

The Scenario Results page is made up of two main windows.

The right-hand portion of the page is discussed in the Summary Results article.

Located on the left-hand side of the window, the Scenario Toolbar provides information about the  Scenario being viewed.

SELECT THE SCENARIO:

Select the Scenario provides a drop down menu to move between analyzed Scenarios.

Select a Scenario by clicking on its name in the drop down menu. The results displayed will be for the Scenario named in the Select Scenario field. When moving directly from the Analyze Scenarios screen to Scenario Results, the most recently run Scenario will be displayed. When moving to Scenario Results from a different screen, the posting Scenario will be the initial Scenario run.

If a Scenario name is selected that does not have an associated analysis run, the following warning will be prompted:

Click OK and select a different Scenario or return to the Analyze Scenarios screen to analyze the Scenario.

DOLLAR YEAR FOR VIEW:

The Dollar Year for View drop down allows you to view impact results deflated to a selected year's dollar value. Changing the Dollar Year for View does not affect Employment values.

The default year selection is the year selected as the default data year in User Preferences. If you have not set a a specific year in User Preferences, the display year will be the current year according the the computer's clock. Results can be deflated to the appropriate year's value for your study.

DIRECT FACTOR CHANGE:

The Direct Factor Change shows the value entered into the Labor Income.

DIRECT INSTITUTION CHANGE:

Shows the value of an impact as it affects local Institutions. For Household Spending Change Activity types, the value of the Direct Effect is listed here. For Household Spending Patterns, Industry Spending Patterns, and Institutional Spending Patterns, the value of the first round of Indirect Effects paid to Institutions (governments and other households) is listed here. This field is also used to capture effects of Commodity Change Activities which may have significant (relative to the value of the Direct Effect) Institutional contributions towards the Commodities output production. 

LPP IMPORTS:

Displays the value of final demand that is lost from the Direct Effect as the cost of importing goods into the Study Area. This occurs as a result of Local Purchasing Percentage', 'LPP' being less than 100% for an Event or Events within an Activity.

Note: Adding the LPP Imports, Direct Institution Change, and Direct Factor Change values with the
Direct Output yields the total value towards Final Demand. Remember that for Industry Spending Patterns, the total value towards Final Demand is not the Activity or Scenario Level value, but that value multiplied by the Event Total.
