Farber, S; Johnson, D B

This report contains data on OCS development and some financial implications for the state. But the major portion of the study is concerned with alternative methodologies, and their related evaluations, which can be applied to measuring the impact of petroleum and gas mining activity on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) adjacent to Louisiana. For purposes of this report the OCS extends seaward from the outer 3 mile limit of the state's jurisdiction to the limit of the continental margin. Chapter 2 contains a survey of the literature. Because the impact methodology proposed is based heavily on the input-output technique, Chapter 3 presents a summary of input-output technology. Chapter 4 summarizes the production and processes of the OCS industry. Chapter 5 presents the methodology for estimating OCS related expenditures and their impact on Louisiana. Chapter 6 is concerned with the methodology of estimating the fiscal impact on Louisiana's governments and Chapter 7 briefly discusses the environmental impact and literature.
