MRIO results - unknown local purchase %
I am running an MRIO analysis linking one county to the rest of the state. I input $26 million to 457 - Advertising services. I am using the SAM estimate of 56% for that industry because I don't know how much will be purchased locally in that county or in the state. I would like to know how much of the $26 million would be purchased in the rest of the state if about $14.6 million (26*.56) is leftover after in-county purchases. Can the MRIO results tell me that? Or will I have to multiple $14.6 by the rest of state's RPC for sector 457 and run that separately in the rest of state model?

Hello, The way MRIO works is that it captures backward linkages of the local spending, so the MRIO to ROS state will only capture what is required to support 56% of $26MM. It has not assumption of where the leakage is spent. Since you aren't sure if or what rate the other 44% is spent in the data, then you could build a second set of MRIO linked Models ROS to county where you examined the impact of the 44% of $26MM spending in advertising the ROS Model and the potential feedbacks to the county. Please let us know if you have additional questions. IMPLAN Group Staff
