Reporting Impacts at the National Level

Hi Eric, Thank you for your post! Since you are looking at National Level Output, there are a few concerns raised with doing so: http://www.bea.gov/faq/index.cfm?faq_id=1034&searchQuery If your Contribution Analysis is just a single industry or a mulit Industry. If it is a single industry you will be using both Total Industry Output and the Type Sam Multiplier from the Detail Multipliers tab. However if it is a Multi Industry Contribution Analysis then you actually will not use either. Single Industry Contribution Analysis: https://implan.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=660:660&catid=253:KB33 Multi-Industry Contribution Analysis: http://implan.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit&id=467 We recommend that you do not Set to SAM Model value. LPP or Local Purchase Percentage, is where the impacts relative to your study area, are taking place. Hi Eric, Thank you for your post! The answer to this depends on if your Contribution Analysis is just a single industry or a mulit Industry. If it is a single industry you will be using both Total Industry Output and the Type Sam Multiplier from the Detail Multipliers tab. However if it is a Multi Industry Contribution Analysis then you actually will not use either.

LPP or Local Purchase Percentage, describes how much of your direct impact is taking place in your defined study area. RPC or Regional Purchase Coefficient, is the the proportion of the total demand for a commodity by all users in the Study Area that is supplied by producers located within the Study Area. Thanks!
