R. Press Consulting, LLC) using the IMPLAN economic impact model. The IMPLAN model is used by more than 500 universities and government agencies to estimate the economic and fiscal impacts of investments and/or changes in industry, and forecast tax revenue and employment generation within specific geographic areas. IMPLAN is an input-output model. Input-output accounting describes commodity flows from producers to intermediate and final consumers. Input-output analysis quantifies the multiple economic effects resulting from a change in the final demand for a specific product or service. For example, a person being paid to work on a highway project will spend some of those wages to buy goods and services. The money he or she spends shows up as sales and wages to other parties, who spend the money elsewhere, and so on. This chain of effects, known as the multiplier, captures the distributive effects of the independent economic event, in this case, the production and sale of motor vehicles in the U.S. by International Automakers across a broad range of industries. From these economic impacts, the fiscal implications are derived by reference to the observed relationships between state and local tax revenues in Georgia with its Gross State Product. Specific taxes are forecast to flow in the same proportions as observed in the State as a whole for 2012 (the most recent data available from the U.S. Census Bureau, Census of Governments). SOURCES USED TO COMPILE THE DATA USED IN THIS REPORT: AIADA s membership roster, the 2015 Global Automakers and AIADA Economic Impact Survey, NADA DATA, IHS Automotive Vehicle Registration Data, WardsAuto InfoBank, Alabama Department of Commerce, and the Minnesota IMPLAN Group. Automobile manufacturers participating in the 2015 Global Automakers and AIADA Economic Impact Survey: BMW Group, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen Group, and Volvo. 7
