<br />~ <br />,~ <br />", <br />, <br />H <br />, <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />Another multiplier concept is called the income multiplier. <br /> <br />This concept is measured by estimating the leakage that flows from <br /> <br />an area for purchase of goods and services in other regions. Usually, <br /> <br />business and consumer leakages are estimated and then income multi- <br /> <br />pliers are developed from this data. Obviously, the smaller the area, <br /> <br />the more likely it is that the multipliers would be smaller also. The <br /> <br />following table has been constructed to estimate income multipliers <br /> <br />for areas of differing population sizes in the southwest United States. <br /> <br />TABLE 5 <br /> <br />Hypothetical Income Multipliers <br /> <br />"'01 <br />','" <br />,. <br /> <br />Project Area <br />Population <br /> <br />1,000 <br /> <br />Business Consumer Income <br />Leakage Leakage MPC Multiplier <br />BO 30 .75 1.12 <br />70 15 .73 1.22 <br />65 7 .70 1.29 <br />60 5 .68 1.37 <br />55 3 .66 1.42 <br /> <br />-"I <br /> <br />5,000 <br /> <br />10,000 <br />20,000 <br />50,000 <br /> <br />Source: New Mexico State University, Agriculture Experiment Station, <br />The Role of Employment and Income Multipliers in Selectinq <br />Aqricultural Development Opportunities for the Four Corners <br />Reqion, May, 1971, Report No.7, p. 10. <br /> <br />Estimates of output multipliers have been made for the six <br /> <br />Colorado River subbasins including the San Juan.
