<br />~tln33 <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />Several advantages accrue to the development of neVi survey-based models of <br />the study region: (1) great detail on local government receipts and expendi- <br />tures and on other local social services ~Jhich does not exist in prior models <br />can be obtained; (2) county by county data can be developed allOl'Jing various <br />aggregations by region appropriate for local, county, state and federal planning <br />bodies; and (3) the accuracy and quality of the measurement of the direct plus <br />indirect effects of resource change in the study region will be greatly <br />enhanced. With regard to the last point, only t~1O prior models exist. These <br />models are quite old, do not cover a large part. of the study region, arc based <br />partly or wholly on rough estimates from secondary data sources and do not <br />provide detail on government.al and social services. The usefulness of an <br />input.-output modell ing effort is in direct. ratio to the rel iabil ity and det:ai I <br />cont.ained in the table of flows of spendinq (aocl physical inputs) ilmon9 the <br />economic sectors of the region, <br />Purchases and sales data for the agricultural production sectors will be <br />coll ected joiotly by researchers invol ved in the Linear Programming modell ing <br />effort and researchers involved in the Input-Output modelling effort, Close <br />contact and overlapping team membership will prevent unnecessary dupl ication <br />of the field survey. <br />The following table provides a listing of t.he economic sectors appropriate <br />for the eastern high plains of Colorado, ^ more det.ailed breakdown of the <br />crops contained in the irrigated and/or dryland agriculture sectors may also <br />be desired, The extent of this disaggregation will depend on the level of detail <br />defined in the linear prograJlIIJlinq res(~,lrch.
