| Regional industrialization efforts include industrial recruitment, entrepreneurial and small business development, and business retention and expansion programs. Recently, many states and communities have targeted their industrialization programs at specific industries to promote the development of industry clusters. Broadly defined, an industry cluster is a loose, geographically bounded collection of similar and/or related firms that together create competitive advantages for member firms and the regional economy. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the debate concerning the advisability of industry cluster targeting as an employment generation strategy for states and sub-state regions. Our review of the appropriateness of a clusters strategy... |

| 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... |

| In 1995, 2,434 ornamental horticulture and turfgrass businesses in South Carolina were surveyed to determine the employment, sales and expenditures generated by the state’s ornamental horticulture and turfgrass industry. Questionnaires were returned by 480 businesses (19.9 %); 431 (17.7 %) responses provided complete employment data and 397 (16.3 %) provided complete sales and expenditure information. Survey results indicate that industry sales vary significantly depending on the business type, market outlet and product lines carried. Total sales in 1994 were $726 million. Landscapers generated $224 million, Building Supply/Garden Centers $191 million, Growers $167 million, General Merchandise Stores $85 million, Grocery Stores $33 million, and Florists... |

| This document provides an explanation on how shrimp trawler owners/operators can analyze the effects of changing costs and ex-vessel prices on the profitability of operating a shrimp trawler. An Excel spreadsheet is provided with sample boat costs and revenues. The spreadsheet allows the trawler owner/operator to enter costs and revenues data for their own vessel. This can be used to estimate average costs of landing a pound of shrimp by the vessel owner/operator and the profit (loss) per pound of landed shrimp. As input costs vary for key items like fuel, ice, BRDS, etc, the trawler owner can estimate the impact of these input costs on the total average cost of landing a pound of shrimp. Similarly, as the ex-vessel (landed) price for a pound of shrimp... |

| A statistical procedure for detecting "contagious" location patterns for manufacturing establishments is presented. Manufacturing industries' establishment clustering tendencies are ranked based on the "dispersion parameter" of the negative binomial distribution. Establishment data are for three-digit SIC manufacturing industries, nonmetro counties of BEA Component Economic Areas, 1981 and 1992. Findings indicate that virtually all manufacturing industries cluster establishments in nonmetro areas. Approximately two-thirds of the industries had dispersion parameters indicating a high or moderate level of spatial concentration. The propensity to cluster plants in nonmetro CEAs was evident for both 1981 and 1992, though weaker in 1992. Much of the... |

| People spent $4.350 billion at California golf course facilities in 2000. The total sales, income, and tax impacts on the state economy were $7.872 billion, $4.546 billion, and $1.370 billion in 2000. Direct sales of $4.251 billion directly supported 62,173 jobs, and , through indirect and induced sales impacts, an additional 37,609 jobs. |

| 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 purpose of this report is to estimate short-and long-run labor market adjustments associated with employment change for South Carolina counties. An appreciation of the source of employees for new jobs enables community leaders to better select the appropriate level of industrial incentives and to better plan for changes in demand for public goods and services. We provide an overview of the components of a local labor force and the implications of component change on local income and expenditures for public goods and services. Then we present the results of the Clemson University Community Policy Analysis (CPAN) Model for county labor markets. This model estimates the allocation of new jobs in a county among the components of a county's labor force.... |
