A regional input-output model is compared with a county input-output model to determine if the regional results can be used as proxies for the county impact analysis. The methodology is a non-survey, static, input-output model. The methodology uses the national input-output tables at the 365 sectoral level. Regional disaggregate employment is used as weights to aggregate the national table into 25 regional sectors. The supply-demand pool approach is applied to construct the regional and the county input-output tables. The study focuses on a 5-county region in Southeastern Ohio. The region has witnessed a 26% increase in coal production during the 1970s. Regional results are found to be unapplicable to estimate the economic impacts on the county level. In general they tend to overestimate the changes in employment and income as a result of a change in the final demand at the county level. The regional multipliers are larger than the county multipliers for all sectors except for utilities and manufacturing-machinery sectors. Also, total income and employment effects are found to be a better measure for economic impact analysis than the income and the employment multipliers.
