<strong>Kangaroo</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Futures Authority Draft Economic Impact of Agriculture and Tourism• The third adjustment to the base data was the conversion of tourism expenditureestimates from purchasers’ to basic prices (i.e. reallocation of net taxes (taxes minussubsidies) and marketing and transport margins) to make the data consistent withaccounting conventions used in the national, state and regional I-O models.Purchasers’ to basic price ratios for tourism expenditure categories were derived fromABS data.• The final adjustment to the base data was the allocation of the tourism expendituredata in basic prices to the relevant input-output sectors (intermediate sectors, taxesless subsidies or imports) in which the expenditure occurred, thus compiling a profileof sales to final demand. This process was undertaken for each type of tourismexpenditure (domestic day, domestic overnight and international visitor) and theresults aggregated to form a single tourism demand profile. Profiles were developed atthe state and regional levels.Constructing a RISE v3.0 economic impact modelIn the final model construction stage the data described above were incorporated into aMicrosoft Excel® spreadsheet based economic impact model for the region and state (i.e. RISEv3.0) 8 . This model allows for description of the structure of the economy. It can also be usedfor the estimation of economic impacts over time in response to the introduction of a newindustry or a change in the final demand for the output of one or many sectors. Modelassumptions can be modified to account for:• price changes between the model construction year (2009/10) and the base year forthe analysis;• labour productivity change over time (as above and for the subsequent years);• the level of regional migration (e.g. for a positive employment impact, the proportionof new jobs filled by previously unemployed locals).8For further details on the use and application of this type of model see EconSearch (2010b).e c o n s e a r c hPage| 59
