This two-volume study reports the development and application of a continuous-growth economic simulation model to a discrete-growth economy. The model developed is an adaptation of the TVA Regional Simulation Model to Wyoming's North Platte River Basin, which includes eight Wyoming counties. The model is employment-based and simulates economic activity in six sectors: population, employment, water demand, income, agriculture, and housing. All major economic variables contained in the model are expressed in terms of functions relating dependent and independent variables, thus allowing virtually unlimited experimentation with various functional forms. The information in the supplement contains three parts. Part I lists the variables used in the model as well as the format in which they are presented, along with short descriptions of several of the variables. Part II provides a more detailed description of many of the variables and also indicates the manner in which certain of them are related or are functions of each other. Part III is a listing of the data file as it actually appears on a computer printout.
