| Reservations on technical and theoretical grounds in the use of the consumer surplus approach to measure benefits of government programs have often appeared in the literature. Therefore, this paper uses an alternative approach in a case study to estimate the annual economic surplus created in South Carolina from deregulating tobacco production. Impacts of deregulation on cropping patterns and income on representative tobacco farms, and distribution of benefits in the economy are examined. Results of this study indicate that deregulation stimulates the economy and would increase the net value added by $5.8 million in the long run. |

| The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta), abbreviated as RIFA, is believed to have been brought by accident to Mobile, Alabama in the 1930s via ship ballast from South America. The RIFA was first reported in Charleston and Orangeburg counties in South Carolina in 1952 and has since spread to all 46 counties in the state. The RIFA has had adverse impacts on the environments it has infested. In natural environments, the young of ground-nesting insects, reptiles, birds and mammals are subject to RIFA predation. In agriculture, the RIFA damages crops and livestock. The RIFA poses a health threat to humans, as it is aggressive and has a venomous sting. To learn more about the current impacts of the RIFA, a random sample of South Carolina households... |

| Industry targeting is the process of focusing industrial development programs and efforts at specific industries or clusters of related industries. An industry targeting program identifies industries for which the region offers a competitive advantage in terms of labor availability and skills, location, and availability of public services. Lancaster County's industrial targeting project has two principal objectives: identify manufacturing industries that have high potential for locating in the county and identify manufacturing industries that provide attractive economics development impacts in terms of future job growth, wages paid, and contributions to the local tax base. |

| This report summarizes the economic and fiscal impacts of the Greenville Hospital System (GHS) on Greenville County and the South Carolina Upstate (Greenville, Anderson, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens and Spartanburg counties). In 2000, GHS had operating revenues, net of adjustments for charity and negotiated charges, of $606 million and had 8,211 employees on the payroll for at least part of the year. GHS also generates significant economic impacts from purchases of supplies, equipment, and utilities; from construction of new facilities; from local spending by GHS employees; and from local expenditures by visitors to the GHS patients and by students at GHS training programs. Moreover, GHS payroll and expenditures result in local "multiplier" effects in the... |
