Measuring the Indirect Effects of an Agricultural Investment Project on Its Surrounding Region
利用马来西亚一个灌溉项目的案例，通过半投入产出模型量化农业投资对周边地区的下游收益，发现其间接效应与直接效应规模相当，但主要受益者为非农户。
Abstract Agricultural investment projects may generate important downstream benefits for the regions in which they are located. Using a semi‐input‐output model of the regional economy, an attempt is made to quantify the downstream benefits generated by an irrigation project in Malaysia. In aggregate the project's downstream effects on regional income were of an order similar to its direct effects, but the main beneficiaries of the downstream benefits were the nonfarm households. Each dollar of downstream income probably was supported by just over a dollar of additional investment in the local economy.
