Could corporate profits be driving my result?

Greetings, i'm finding for the sector under examination (FORESTRY, which includes things like logging, wood furniture, etc.)that value added had a pretty sharp increase despite lower employment and labor income and output that is about the same (period under examination is 2011-2012). These are the % changes from 11 to 12. Employment Labor Income Total Value Added Output Direct (-16.12) (-8.06) 27.12 (-3.37) Indirect (-4.25) (1.56) (-5.08) 1.24 Total Effect (-9.54) (-5.19) 11.88 (-1.86) The result i'm most focused on is the direct results. A 27% value added increase, while the industry appears to have contracted overall. I have seen evidence that corporate profits nationally went up considerably and I have found this result in my analysis as well (vis a vis the corporate tax burden). I'm really just wanting to get another opinion on that matter. Thoughts? Anyone is welcome to chime in.

  • Hi Shaun. We are glad that you figured it out. We were in the process of building two Louisiana Models to determine why you were getting the results you have. As posted in an earlier reply, our results were fairly consistent between the two time periods. Please let us know if you have other IMPLAN related problems.
