In this paper is presented a stepwise system, in descending order, based on sales, payroll, and employees for measuring the regional economic impact of aviation-related projects. The procedure is based on the Regional Input-Output Modeling System (RIMS II) developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Also presented are a brief discussion of the RIMS II methodology, general issues associated with aviation-related economic impact studies, an overview of all major studies using RIMS II multipliers, and recommended procedures for future studies. Every agency, or their lead consultants, that had completed or was conducting a major aviation-related economic study with RIMS II responded to a questionnaire used to gather information for this paper. Every respondent reported overall satisfaction with RIMS II. Input-output analysis is the preferred technique for evaluating regional economic impacts of business activity. Developmental problems associated with input-output analysis have been overcome with the development of RIMS II. Since 1983 the RIMS II multiplier methodology has become the dominant economic impact methodology for evaluating regional aviation impacts. In March 1986, 10 major aviation economic studies encompassing 30 primary commercial service and more than 200 general aviation airports were under way or completed. Because the application of RIMS II multipliers to the aviation industry is so recent, discussion and more precise guidelines on the use of the methodology as applied directly to the aviation industry are needed.
