43. This was developed by <strong>the</strong> University of South Africa’s Bureau of Market Research for <strong>Coca</strong>-<strong>Cola</strong> South Africa in 2000. These multipliers were adjusted for use<br />
<strong>on</strong> this project by comparing <strong>the</strong> import-intensity of <strong>the</strong> Zambian ec<strong>on</strong>omy vis-à-vis <strong>the</strong> South African ec<strong>on</strong>omy, reflecting <strong>the</strong> likelihood of impact leakage through<br />
imports. This was d<strong>on</strong>e by obtaining <strong>the</strong> percentage of imports to GDP for <strong>the</strong> two countries and averaging imports over <strong>the</strong> last 10 years, in order to reduce<br />
<strong>the</strong> impact of picking a <strong>on</strong>e-off year with unusual levels of imports. As <strong>the</strong> Zambian ec<strong>on</strong>omy has higher import intensity than <strong>the</strong> South African ec<strong>on</strong>omy, <strong>the</strong><br />
multipliers are lower in Zambia due to increased leakages via imports. Therefore, an output multiplier of 1.75 for South Africa reduced to 1.53 for Zambia.<br />
