Analysis of Indicators for Socioeconomic Impacts Due to OCS (Outer Continental Shelf) Oil and Gas Activities in the Gulf of Mexico, Year 2. Volume 2

摘要

In 1984, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) initiated a series of studies to study the direct and indirect impact of resource development projects in the Gulf of Mexico region. The report follows Year 1 of the study, which was published in January 1986 in a 3-volume set (OCS Study/MMS 86-0015, 86-0015, and 86-0016). The report, prepared in three volumes, describes the second year of such socioeconomic studies. Volume II introduces the basic analytical structure of the Socioeconomic Assessment Model (SAM), detailing the four components discussed in Volume I. It also presents the operation procedures for the macros that are contained in the SAM system and gives a summary of the commands, with options for data management (including data transfer-ability to/from disk), input-output modeling, and economic impact assessment.
