摘要：Synthesized input-output models are widely used by industry and government
economists. The IMPLAN program is popular because it provides user access to
the base data so that modifications can be made. The Washington survey-based
model and IMPLAN for Washington State are compared, and differences in multipliers
are traced to differences in final payments leakages. An adjustment technique
for IMPLAN is demonstrated. An application is made to a Colorado potential
drought impact analysis. More than 51,000 part- and full-time jobs and $1.6 billion
of household income are at stake in the Colorado farm and “green industry” sectors.
