Notes
An assessment of the construction related economic repercussions of the Banfield Transitway Project was performed. The effects of the project were derived using a 24-sector input-output model of the four county Portland SMSA economy. The input-output methodology is frequently employed for the purpose of impact assessment because it provides exceptionally detailed estimates of interindustry activity, employment and income that result from project-related expenditures. The primary data and background information needed to perform this analysis were provided by the Banfield LRT Project office.
