Multipliers
For Output, Income and Employment
Using input-output analysis, we calculate the values of output, income and employment multipliers for different sectors of industry. These show the effect of changes in investment, such as new installations or the contraction of local industry, and in costs.
Clients have included European, national and local governments and development bodies.
For example, a model was developed using output and employment multipliers to investigate the impact of increased water and effluent charges on fish processing in the north-east of Scotland.
We also developed a model to estimate the impact of regional management of the Irish Sea whitefish fisheries on employment in the coastal communities.
