Economic contribution of college residence halls

Hello Alexandria, It sounds like you have the goods and services budget for the dormitories you are working with. Since this data will be more specific that using a general college operations Sector doing an Analysis-by-Parts would be the most accurate methodology to use, but it does take additional time and work. Here are two articles that can help you with Analysis-by-Parts. Basics: http://implan.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&task=article.edit&id=373 Case Study: http://implan.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&task=article.edit&id=730 As regards contribution analysis, unless you are examining the only dormitories that are being operated in the Study Area region you can treat the analysis like an impact analysis. If you are looking at the operations of all dormitories, or the majority of dormitories operations then you may want to consider running a contribution analysis IF you choose the Industry Change methodology. Thanks!

Thank you, the links you sent require another login through Joomla, not sure what this is and I do not have a login for that, thanks
