  1. Fiscal Impact ModelingThe TexSAFE Experience Garen Evans Community Resource Development Mississippi State University

  2. Tex$AFE • Decision-making • “What if” scenarios • Community Education • Linkages in a local economy • Policy Analysis

  3. Review of Impact Models • Input-Output Analysis • Wassily Leontief • Computable General Equilibrium • Kraybill et al. 1992 • Econometric • Adams et al. 1975 • Simulation • Law and Kelton 1982

  4. Input-Output Analysis • Wassily Leontief b. 1906 • Nobel Prize, 1973 …for the development of the input output method and for its application to important economic problems. x = (I-A)-1 y

  5. Input-Output Analysis • Advantages • Inexpensive & ease of use • Disadvantages • Theoretical: CRS, fixed inputs, elasticities • Practical: lacks fiscal component, easily abused.

  6. Integrated Modeling • “The theoretical motivation for integrating econometric models with input-output models stems from the restrictive assumptions of either component when used by itself.” • (Rey 2000) • Strategies: • embedding, linking, coupling

  7. Tex$AFE: The Idea • Identify Direct Impacts • Estimate secondary impacts with input-output analysis. • Use total I-O impacts with Tex$AFE. • Estimate fiscal changes.

  8. Secondary data for county Secondary data (254 counties cross-sectional) New jobs and earnings TEX$AFE IMPLAN Input-output model Regression equations Impacts:output value-added earnings jobs Coefficients Spreadsheet Baseline, project, and impacts

  9. Tex$AFE: What’s Inside • Spreadsheet Model • Easy to use and maintain • Multiple spreadsheets • Base model data • Local data • Statistical estimators • Modular results

  10. Tex$AFE: Data • Demographic • Population • Total, school-aged, elderly • Commuting • Economic • Jobs, earnings, income, unemployment • Fiscal • County revenues, expenditures • Rates: city, school district, special district

  11. NETCMT =f(jobs, unemp) POP=f(jobs, netcmt) CLF=f(pop,hisp) SAC=f(pop,hisp) INCOME=f(pop,earn) RETAIL=f(income) PROPV=f(income) HOTREV=f(income) MIXB=f(income) CA_REVX=f(pop) CA_IGED=f(pop) CA_DEXP=f(pop) Tex$AFE: Estimators

  12. Tex$AFE: Calibration

  13. Tex$AFE: Output • Demographics • Property Revenues • Sales Revenues • Other Revenues • Expenditures • Accounts

  14. Tex$AFE & Wind Turbines • 82.5 megawatts on 3200 acres • $180 million

  15. Tex$AFE & Wind Turbines • Pecos Wind Farm • Property Taxes: • Buena Vista & Iraan ISDs: $22.8 million (25pv) • County Taxes: • $8.2 million without tax abatement • $2.4 million with tax abatement • Present Value of 10 year tax abatement: • $5,794,276

  16. Tex$AFE & Cheese • $97.5 million • 1 cheese plant • 24 dairy farms

  17. Tex$AFE & Cheese • The county property tax base increases by $109.5 million. • The net fiscal impact for all jurisdictions in the county is $1.275 million annually (nominal dollars). • The net present value of the fiscal impact over 20 years for all jurisdictions is $17.12 million (realdollars).

  18. Tex$AFE & Space Transport • First commercial spaceport in Texas. • Fiscal impacts: • Promo/enabling • Economic impacts: • Ascender Project

  19. Distribution of Sales Tax Revenues
