摘要:The Wisconsin Economic Impact Modeling System, a conjoined input-output/econometric model ofWisconsin counties, is used to simulate the economic and fiscal impact of two alternative residentialdevelopment patterns. Under the first scenario, the impact of migrating retirees on a small tri-county regionin northern Wisconsin is examined. Under the second scenario, the impact of the migration of youngerfamilies with children is examined. A comparison-contrast between the two scenarios demonstrates that thecharacteristics of the migrating household can have a significant impact on the nature of the impacts.
