      abstract = {Social accounting matrix (SAM) models have become standard  methods to provide
quantitative economic impact evaluation.  SAM models and methods have a wide body of literature
and  dates back several decades. In recent years there has been  a growing interest in using
interregional and multiregional  SAM models. IMPLAN provides data necessary, in a  convenient
format, to construct single-region SAM models.  Procedures of the use of IMPLAN data
in concert with BEA’s  “journey-to-work” commuting flows and data from the  Commodity
Flow Survey (CFS) collected by the Census Bureau  and compiled by the Bureau of Transportation
Statistics to  construct state-level multiregional SAM models has been  demonstrated. However,
little research exists concerning  the creation of multiregional SAM models at  geographic
scales lower than states, especially the roll  that interregional trade plays in the accuracy of  these
models. This paper evaluates sensitivity of  multiregional SAM multipliers to the procedures
used to  estimate interregional trade flows.},
