<br />000343 <br /> <br />. .,. ~\ <br />. <br /> <br />The principal task of work element A-3b (regional economic analysis) is <br />to describe the economic effects upon the High Plains region of alternate develop- <br />ment strategies for the Ogallala Aquifer. Dr. John McKean, with the Department <br />of Economics at Colorado State University, is the principal investigator of this <br />element. Economic input-output models of the region (and the three planning and <br />management regions which enclose the High Plains region) will be developed to <br />project income, output, water use, energy use, and employment for each econ- <br />omic sector within the study region. In addition, the models will proVide de- <br />tailed projections of government receipts and expenditures, and projections of <br />other required local social services. A secondary task of this work element is <br />to use the existing 1970 state input-output model to measure the impacts of <br />changes in the study region on the rest of the state. <br /> <br />Demographic and environmental analysis (remainder of work element A-3b) <br />will be conducted by the Colorado Division of Planning under the direction of Mr. <br />Charles Jordan. Mr. Jordan will insure that the development of input-output models <br />are compatible with ongOing state studies. A detailed directory of state partici- <br />Pints in this study is appended to this report. <br /> <br />Budget <br /> <br />The $300,000 for the cost of state element study has been allocated as indi- <br />cated below. All elements were curtailed to some extent from our preliminary plan <br />transmitted on May 14, 1979. Assumption of some staff costs by all participants, <br />including Colorado State University and an indirect charge of sixteen percent, con- <br />Siderably below the charge generally levied against contracts and grants was nec- <br />es sarY to accomplish the intent of element assignments within the allotted funds. <br />The breakdown is as follows: <br /> <br />Elements: <br /> <br />Technical Coordination <br />Public Awareness <br />A-I (COlorado State University) <br />A-2 (Office of Energy Conservation) <br />A-3a (Division of Water Resources) <br />A-3b (Colorado State University) <br />A-3b (Division of Planning) <br />Total Direct Cost <br /> <br />30,000 <br />20,000 <br />78,125 <br />38,500 <br />35,957 <br />49,225 <br />26,700 <br />278,507 <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Less Colo.
