Economic impact analysis
Economic multipliers
These multipliers reflect the structure of the Alberta economy and industry linkages during the reference year. These documents contain multipliers specific to various industries and commodities for 2 models:
- ‘Open’ model, which covers direct and indirect impacts
- ‘Closed’ model, which covers direct, indirect and induced impacts
Most recent economic multipliers – 2020
Recommendations regarding the 2020 input-output multipliers
Statistics Canada recommended that due to the COVID pandemic in 2020, the structure of the economy was significantly altered. The 2020 input-output multipliers and input-output models should be used for analysis of economic impacts in 2020. However, for economic impact analysis for more current periods, the 2019 input-output multipliers and input-output models may be considered as more reflective of current economic structures.
