Air Force Region of Influence Model (AFROI): User Manual

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA178351 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Air Force Region of Influence Model AFROI is an interactive computer system for identifying geographic areas that would receive significant economic impacts following a realignment action. AFROI utilizes a modified economic base model to determine the spatial distribution of direct expenditures generated by an AF activity. County-level income and employment impacts are calculated by AFROI and compared to forecasts of future economic activity in the region, assuming no change in status of the AF installation, to evaluate the significance of impacts. This manual provides information on how to use AFROI. It describes how to enter the system, gather data, and run the model. This discussion is made clearer through the use of several example problems. Finally, the AFROI econometric model is described both in general terms and in a technical appendix in order to provide the user with the understanding needed to interpret model results. AFROI is maintained by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory USA-CERL as part of the Environmental Technical Information System ETIS.
