Induced Effects

Induced effects stem from household spending of labor income, after removal of taxes, savings, and commuters.  It represents the response by an economy to an initial change (direct effect) that occurs through re-spending of income received by a component of value added. IMPLAN's default multiplier recognizes that labor income (employee compensation and proprietor income components of value added) is not a leakage to the regional economy. This money is recirculated through the household spending patterns causing further local economic activity.

Note that IMPLAN models account for commuting patterns; thus, induced impacts will only reflect the spending of wages from residents.  IMPLAN removes payroll taxes, personal taxes, and savings before allowing the remainder to be spent on goods and services.  IMPLAN also accounts for imports and does not assume that all purchases of goods and services are made within the study area.
