<br />o <br />Ut <br />W <br />"" <br /> <br />@ <br /> <br />goods and services which had previously been exported may also grow. The <br /> <br />rapid general growth may turn a region from a net exporter of a product into a <br /> <br />net importer. <br /> <br />This is what the model suggests has happened with respect to <br /> <br />Dairy products in the San Juan Region when it generates a negative final <br /> <br />demand. <br /> <br />The iGO and FD of the forestry sector for 1975 were estimated by <br /> <br />interpolation as described above. <br /> <br />The output of this sector is apparently <br /> <br />quite volatile in that it depends to a large extent on the age distribution of <br /> <br />timber stock and federal cutting policies. <br /> <br />Mining and Minerals - For the most part the Conventional Oil, Natu"al ./ <br /> <br />Gas and Related Services; All Other Mining; and Uranium Mining and Processing <br /> <br />sectors had their reos and FDs estimated by the general method described <br /> <br />above. <br /> <br />These industries are all "maturell in the sense that the major known <br /> <br />economic resources have been exploited. They were, as a consequence, treated <br /> <br />as having followed the stable output path projected for them in the earlier <br /> <br />studies. <br /> <br />Special mention, however, should be made regarding the Uranium Mining <br /> <br />and Processing sector. This sector is "double countedll in the sense that the <br /> <br />output from the mines is "re-counted" as output from the mills and the total <br />IJ\.'I:w;,.,~ <br />output of the sector is^inF"'~'/bY that amount. In effect, two sectors are <br /> <br />treated as one because of the fact that mining and milling are often tlosely <br /> <br />integrated. <br /> <br />Furthermore, a rapid price rise characterizes the final demand <br /> <br />and total gross output of this sector in 1978 dollars. <br /> <br />These figures are <br /> <br />grossly inflated by virtue of the fact that the UCR>> products are sold under <br /> <br />cont"act at much lower average prices than the 1978 spot price of yellowcake. <br />
