      abstract = {This paper investigates the impact of an expansion in  agricultural processing on the Western Australian economy  by modifying and applying a Computable General Equilibrium  (CGE) economic model of Western Australia (called WAM).   WAM was used to simulate the effects of a $1 million  expansion in eight agricultural processing industries.  The  results show that there is a range of positive impacts from  agricultural processing.  On average, a $1 million  expansion in agricultural processing is estimated to  increase the State's GSP (Gross State Product) by $649,000,  and total output by $1.9 million.  The expansion of the  Wine and spirits industry is estimated to have the largest  impact while the Textile fibres, yarns and woven fabrics  industry has the smallest impact on the Western Australian  economy.},
