Estimating the Economic Base Multiplier: A Test of Alternative Procedures
评估了四种估算经济基础乘数的方法，以亚利桑那州20个小城镇为样本，发现最小需求法优于抽样调查和区位商法。
Four different strategies for estimating economic base multipliers are evaluated for twenty small towns in Arizona. Three estimating techniques are compared with a comprehensive survey of the economies of the towns, and the minimum requirements method is found to be superior to the sample survey and location quotient approaches.
