Henderson, J.E., I.A. Munn, G. Perez-Verdin, D.L. Grebner. 2008.

• Introducing a new publication series to address that question.
Economic Impact of Forest Products Industry
The Economic Contribution of Forestry and Forest Products to Mississippi Counties
Forest Products Industry Impacts Economy In Three Ways:
Direct Effect
Indirect Effect
Induced Effect
Total Effect

Input – Output Analysis
• Economy divided into 440 sectors.
• Depicts inter-industry relations of an economy.
• Shows how output of one industry is an input to other industries or sectors of the economy. IMPLAN: input-output modeling software
Economic Impact on Mississippi’s Economy Measured by:
• Employment – the number of full- and part-time jobs in the sector
• Employee compensation – the wages paid by the sector
• Output – the sector’s total value of production
• Value-added – total sector output minus the costs of purchased
