  2. The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products IndustrySummary • Maryland’s forestry and wood-products industry constituted over $2 billion in output value in 1996, and provided nearly 14,000 jobs. While secondary wood manufacturing (e.g., cardboard-box production) provides the most employment opportunities, the primary wood-manufacturing sectors (e.g., saw mills and paper mills) have higher employment multipliers. This indicates the primary wood manufacturers role between raw forest products and finished wood products. In fact, primary wood-manufacturing sectors are, on average, higher than other average multipliers of industries in the state. • Shock analysis (using IMPLAN) suggests that a 10% reduction or increase in the value of primary wood-manufacturing industry output would have a profound impact on the state’s economy.

  5. Forestry and Wood Products Industry Definitions • Following the industry definition originally developed by the U.S. Forestry Service, this study divides the forestry industry into three major categories: • Timber Management and Harvesting • Operation of timber tracts, tree farms, forest nurseries • Reforestation services • Other forest products • Harvesting and transporting logs • Producing rough, round, hewn or riven primary forest or wood raw materials • Producing wood chips • Primary Wood Manufacturing • Processing of logs and related products into lumber, veneer and plywood, pulp and turpentine and other products • Secondary Wood Manufacturing • Remanufacture of lumber, plywood, paper and other timber products produced by the primary manufacturers into finished products, such as furniture, toys, containers, etc. The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products Industry

  6. Maryland Region Definitions • The data analysis in this report defines four regions of Maryland, divided as follows: • Central: • Carroll, Baltimore, Harford, Cecil, Montgomery and Howard Counties • Eastern: • Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset Counties • Southern: • Anne Arundel, Prince George’s, Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s Counties • Western: • Garrett, Allegany, Washington and Frederick Counties The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products Industry

  7. The IMPLAN Model • The data analysis in this report is conducted using the IMPLAN Model: • Model: • IMPLAN is a widely regarded, inter-industry Input-Output Model that was developed, in part, by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. • IMPLAN is a “non-survey” Input-Output Model utilizing available data to estimate the flow of goods and services at national, state, and county levels. • Data: • IMPLAN analysis is based on highly credible data sources to include: The United States Population Census, County Business Patterns, Regional Economic Information System (REIS) data, and the annual BLS ES-202 wage and employment data. • The quality of data used by IMPLAN is one of its primary strengths.

  10. The Forestry and Wood-Manufacturing Sectors Tend to Concentrate by Region All regions in Maryland support some level of forestry and wood manufacturing. However, sectors tend to be regionally concentrated: Timber Management and Harvesting in the Eastern region; Primary Wood Manufacturing in the Western region; and Secondary Wood Manufacturing in the Central region. The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products Industry

  11. Maryland’s Forestry and Wood-Products Industry is Important to All Regions of the State Maryland’s Central and Western regions account for over two-thirds of the state’s forestry and wood products annual output value. However, at one-quarter and one-third of a billion dollars, respectively, Southern and Eastern Maryland’s forestry and wood-products industry output is significant to the rural economy. The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products Industry

  12. Maryland’s Forestry and Wood Products Industry Creates Almost 14,000 Jobs • Secondary Wood Manufacturing provides the most employment opportunities, with jobs in this sector being concentrated in the Central region of the state. Employment in Primary Wood Manufacturing is highly concentrated in the Western region of Maryland. This is principally due to the presence of paper mills and other types of wood products mills. Jobs in Timber Management and Harvesting sectors are somewhat concentrated in the Eastern region. The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products Industry

  13. Forestry Industry Contributes $.75 Billion in Value-Added Economic Activity in Maryland • In addition to providing employment and income for many Maryland residents, the forestry and wood products industry generates income for business owners, property income, and indirect business taxes — all benefits to a vibrant state economy.

  21. Employment Multipliers The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products Industry

  22. Primary Wood Manufacturing Has a Higher Mean Employment Multiplier Than the Average of All Other Maryland Industries • In contrast to timber management and harvesting, mean employment multipliers in primary wood manufacturing exceed the mean for all other industries in Maryland. These multipliers suggest that growth in primary wood manufacturing has a greater propensity to create employment than other sectors of the regional and statewide economy. Primary wood manufacturers such as saw mills, hardwood dimension and flooring and paper mills are an important market since they source local raw wood products, and in turn, prepare basic wood products for the secondary wood manufacturers further up the value-adding chain. Thus, they play a crucial role in the overall forestry and wood products industry. The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products Industry

  38. Appendix: About the IMPLAN Analyses • SUMMARY • IMPLAN is one of a small number of similar interindustry input-output models of local economies. IMPLAN was originally developed by the USDA Forest Service in cooperation with other federal agencies. In order to address the prohibitive cost of extensive primary data collection on local interindustry purchases, IMPLAN and other “nonsurvey” modeling systems combine available data about the national economy with state and county level data to estimate the flow of goods and services through a local economy. • One of IMPLAN’s strengths is the fact that it integrates many sources of data1 at different levels of aggregation into a comprehensive, internally consistent system that can be applied to any county or region in the United States. Although this integration requires numerous assumptions and estimations of data for specific industries in specific counties, great effort is made to make all estimates compatible with the most accurate available measured data. Unfortunately, the agricultural sectors are particularly difficult since there are no employment and earnings data collected on a • 1 Major data sources of importance include the population census, County Business Patterns, Regional Economic Information System (REIS) data, and especially the annual BLS ES-202 wage and employment data. • continued The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products Industry

  39. commodity basis, even at the national level. IMPLAN uses specially developed procedures to estimate agricultural employment and income by commodity for all counties at the county level. For these estimates, the key anchoring data bases are the REIS data on total farm employment and income, National Agricultural Statistical Service estimates of value of output by commodity at the state level, and Census of Agriculture estimates of crop acreage by type and of the dollar value of livestock-related commodities. The IMPLAN vendor does offer the sensible caveat that “analysts with better [local] agricultural data are encouraged to use it.” (See the IMPLAN PRO Data Guide, Minnesota IMPLAN Group, Inc., 1996, for more information.) • The overall consistency that is achieved by IMPLAN’s data integration procedures enables a comprehensive analysis of the relationships between all sectors of the economy that is otherwise elusive. The maximum use of county-level data that is available throughout the United States helps makes this modeling approach significantly more defensible than similar estimates based on multipliers “borrowed” from another study or another economy. In particular, multiplier estimates based upon larger state or regional economies typically have multipliers that are too large because they implicitly overestimate local production capabilities. • Up to 528 industry sectors are tracked in the full national IMPLAN model, though local economies typically have only half of these or less present. • continued The Economic Importance of the Maryland Forest Products Industry

  40. MULTIPLIERS • Input-output models can be used to estimate the incremental contribution to a local economy that is attributable to an increase (or decrease) in the purchase and consumption of goods and services. To do this, specific multipliers are calculated for each industry. These multipliers summarize the effects of additional rounds of purchases that are stimulated by the initial increase (decrease) in the demand for the goods and services. The multipliers are then applied to the value of this initial “direct” spending to estimate additional impacts that are “indirect” or “induced.” Indirect impacts focus on the additional interindustry purchases of local production inputs that are stimulated by the initial purchases, i.e, as the industry initially impacted increases orders from its suppliers, who in turn do the same and so on. Indirect impacts do not account for associated local respending of increased returns to factors of production (e.g., workers’ spending of increased wages). Induced impacts, in contrast, are estimates of the additional economic activity stimulated by local respending of, for example, increased incomes. • There are a variety of kinds of multipliers that can be derived for any industry. The two that are often of greatest interest are employment multipliers and output multipliers. Employment multipliers represent the ratio between the total number of jobs that are stimulated economy-wide by an initial “direct” increase in demand for an industry’s product (i.e., including jobs created directly, plus those created through indirect plus induced effects) and only those jobs that are stimulated “directly” by the initial change in demand.2 Output multipliers represent the ratio between the total value of output that is simulated economy-wide and the directly simulated output only. An industry with a large multiplier is one, therefore, with strong linkages to other parts of the local economy. In other words, a large output multiplier indicates that a given increase in the demand for industry output stimulates a change in output that is large throughout the entire economy in relation to the change in output in the industry that is directly affected. • 2 By definition then, multipliers must be at least 1.

  41. The most common types of multipliers are Type I, II, and SAM multipliers3. Both SAM and Type II multipliers incorporate impact effects that are more inclusive than are reflected in Type I multipliers.   Type I multipliers only reflect interindustry economic transactions.   Flows of funds to "institutions" - households, government, capital - are assumed to "leak" permanently from the local economy.IMPLAN Type II multipliers are based on inclusion of the household sector in the model.  Thus, these multipliers reflect the fact that as household incomes rise, some portion of this income is reinjected into the local economy as additional or "induced" spending  on local goods and services.Likewise, SAM multipliers typically include the effects of changes in household income and spending.   However, SAM multipliers may focus on the income and spending patterns of other "institutional" sectors such as government and owners of capital.   Multipliers that include the respending effects of the institutional sectors are logically larger than those that do not.  Both SAM and Type II multipliers will be larger than Type I multipliers.  SAM multipliers that incorporate all the institutional sectors are often 4 or larger.IMPLAN Type II multipliers and SAM multipliers that include only the effects of the household sector are mathematically and conceptually very similar.   IMPLAN's Type II multipliers typically refer to the SAM accounts to estimate  local resident-only disposable income, accounting for the removal of income taxes and allowing for household saving.   It is assumed that increased local household incomes are respent according to the spending patterns reflected in the Personal Consumption Expenditures column.  IMPLAN's Type SAM multipliers are very similar, but internalize all SAM information about inter-institutional transfers into the model, in this way for accounting for commuting patterns, social security taxes, household income taxes and savings.  Type SAM (household sector) multipliers are typically slightly smaller than Type II multipliers. • 3.This report utilizes SAM multipliers.
