Direct Effect

Hi Phala, Thank you for your post! The direct effect is the impact that is happening in your region and the Industry to which you are assigned the sector code. The direct effect are the production changes or expenditures made by a consumer as a result of an activity or policy. However the Indirect effect is a result of business to business spending/purchases, which is a result of the sectors from the direct impact. So the value you enter into the Industry Sales field should be the Output value and should include the value of your good and services budget as well as your profits, labor payments and taxes. Thanks.
