1. Introduction • Commenced thesis February 2003 • Modeling Regional Economies – An Input-Output Approach • Southern Grampians Shire & Buloke Shire • What is input-output • Map of industrial structure, impact analysis, multipliers
2. Inspiration For My Thesis • RA work in 2001 and 2002 • Economic impact of AIHS (2001) • Economic impact of RMIT Hamilton (2002) • No prior I-O experience • Could develop a PhD around I-O modeling • John Martin’s influence • Career prospects
3. Masters v. PhD • Masters = difficult • Beta stability vis. macroeconomic variables & foreign debt • Failed to visualise the structure & concepts • Where was my research heading? • Had to rely on my supervisors • With PhD better able to visualise the structure • Better understanding of methodology • Less reliant on supervisors
4. Cross-Campus Research • Spent time at Hamilton Campus • Given me contact with local community – will help with surveying • Conducive to getting work done • Involvement in other projects • Negatives – travel, staying in motel, getting into a routine
5. Working With An Outside Organisation • Working closely with BCG • Farming innovation group • Aim to quantify impacts of BCG innovation • BCG has provided contacts in local community – surveying • e.g. BCG Annual Field Day
6. Consulting Work • Bushfire study • Hamilton Regional Bus. Assoc. • Given me experience • Provided contacts for surveys • Time consuming • Diverts attention
