Regional Input-Output Modeling System

Regional Input-Output Modeling System (RIMS II)
Regional input-output multipliers such as the RIMS II multipliers attempt to estimate how much a one-time or sustained increase in economic activity in a particular region will be supplied by industries located in the region. RIMS II multipliers differ from macro-economic multipliers used to assess the effects of fiscal stimulus on gross national product. Differences in industry-specific regional multipliers are not meaningful or appropriate for use in a national context.

RIMS II multipliers have been used by both the public and private sectors. There are numerous examples of their use:

RIMS II provides six types of multipliers: final-demand multipliers for output, earnings, employment, and value added; and direct-effect multipliers for earnings and employment.[1]
