2002 State Input-Output Study

This report updates The 1997 State Input-Output (I-O) Study for Hawaii (March 2002) using the Economic Census and other information for year 2002. The study provides a detailed information on how the state’s industries interact to produce goods and services and generate jobs and income in Hawaii. I-O multipliers, which are the key results of the study, are central to economic impact analysis. Using I-O multipliers, we can determine how changes in one industry’s final demand, employment and income can affect output (sales), employment and income in the entire economy. By providing a number of diverse examples, the report also demonstrates the correct use of I-O multipliers in impact analyses under different situations.

The updated state-level I-O study will be vital for updating and developing a number of other reports and tools that economic development agencies, planners and the business community can use, including the updating of county based I-O tables and the long range economic and population forecasting model. The county-based I-O tables are expected to be updated in the fall of 2006 and the long range forecasting model will be updated in 2007.

Along with the report, two versions of I-O tables are also provided. One is composed of 67 industry sectors, while the other one is more condensed, containing 20 sectors. The condensed table is used to describe and illustrate the I-O analysis in the report.
