Definition of direct effects

Hi, Your definition of direct effects doesn't mention the fact that direct effects are not the same as expenditures if expenditures include retail purchases. Might you be able to suggest a caveat to add? Your definition for reference: The set of expenditures applied to the predictive model (i.e., I/O multipliers) for impact analysis. It is a series (or single) of production changes or [b]expenditures made by producers/consumers [/b]as a result of an activity or policy. These initial changes are determined by an analyst to be a result of this activity or policy. Applying these initial changes to the multipliers in an IMPLAN model will then display how the region will respond, economically to these initial changes.
