  APPENDIX 17: EXPLANATION OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY || part of: RANGELAND HEALTH STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWESTERN NEVADA [United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Managment May 1997 Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)]

  "Two research studies were conducted in northern California that provide the total income and employment impacts of reduced livestock sales."
  1. George Goldman, economist with the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Berkeley.
  2. Brian Roach and John Loomis of the Division of Environmental Studies at the University of California, Davis.
  "Both studies analyzed the economic impact of livestock sales on the total regional/local income and employment. The total income multiplier of 1.40 used in this analysis is an average of the research by Roach and Loomis who proposed an income multiplier of 1.47 and George Goldman who proposed a multiplier of 1.3393. The employment multiplier of 13.28 jobs per one million dollars in sales is used because it is the most recent estimate."
