Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6586670
The report describes the structure and data base of a computerized model for projecting localized economic, demographic, and fiscal impacts of new energy developments. The model provides baseline and single or multiple-project impact projections for a 15-county area in western North Dakota. Outputs are available at the county and municipal levels and include such variables as employment by type, population by age and sex, school enrollments by age, housing requirements by type, public sector costs and revenues by type, and net fiscal balance. (Reports of business activity and personal income also are available at the regional level.) The REAP Economic-Demographic Model contains five basic components or submodels. These are: An input-output economic model; A cohort-survival demographic model; An economic-demographic model interface; A residential allocation model; A fiscal impact model.
