摘要

A new method for determining and reporting the economic impact of a purchasing decision on a community. The method involves collecting economic data for a state or county such as gross economic output, value added, labor income, indirect business taxes, and employment. Once the data is collected, the data is assigned to fields and permissions are assigned. The user can use the system to generate impact reports for the state or county by selecting the state or county of interest, and the appropriate industry category and project dollar amount. Such impact results can show the impact of purchasing decision on the community in terms of employment, indirect business taxes, value added, labor income, and capital income.
