Plant Location and the Advent of Slab Casting by U.S. Steel Minimills
The advent of slab casting for steel that is produced in electric furnaces resulted in a wave of new investments in the construction of steel minimills. From 1989 to 2001, 10 new plants were constructed in the United States on the basis of new technologies. Some were built in established steel industry agglomerations, while others were built in greenfield locations—regions that had little or no prior steelmaking activity. This research brings new…
An Evaluation of the Remi Model for the South Coast Air Quality Management District
This paper reports an evaluation of the econometric model developed by Regional Econometric Models Inc. for the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The analysis is focused on the in-sample performance, forecasting ability, and characteristics in impact analysis of the model. The trade-offs implicit in the performance of this model relate directly to questions of explanatory power. In particular, the model is characterized by well-specifi…

Structural Change and Economic Policy in a Declining Metropolitan Region
Public-private partnerships can play a valuable role in regional economic policy, but the nature and effectiveness of such alliances depends on the type of problems faced by a region. In the context of decline, partnerships may be oriented to economic renewal and the regeneration of lost economic rents. These objectives may be served while the opportunity costs of policy actions are ignored, and when growth prospects are poor, the risk is ever pr…
A Simulation-Oriented Regional Econometric Model
This paper concerns the structure and application of an econometric model of the Pittsburgh region. A distinction is drawn between forecasting models and those to be used for policy simulation. With this in mind, a simulation-oriented model based on annual data is specified and applied

Input-Output as a Simple Econometric Model
A substantial portion of the research in input-output analysis has been concerned with attempts to estimate more efficiently the structural parameters. As the coefficients have generally been estimated by nonstochastic techniques, efficiency in this context has implied acceptable estimates at reduced cost. It is possible to distinguish at least two directions of effort. One group of analysts has sought to develop and standardize sampling techniqu…
Application of an Interindustry Supply Model to Energy Issues
An interindustry model relating gross output to the availability of primary inputs is used to examine supply linkages associated with national energy production. The results of calculations for US data highlight the importance of extractive energy sectors in intermediate production, and identify supplying sectors that have the potential of restricting energy output. The use of this model as a means to simulate the impact of alternative energy-all…
Air Pollution Abatement
This paper uses the direct-cost estimates for air pollution abatement developed for an earlier study (Miernyk and Sears, 1974) to derive technical coefficients for several simulated abatement activities in West Virginia. Output and relative price effects are calculated for particulate matter abatement and two sulfur dioxide abatement alternatives, using a static input-output model
