      abstract = {A linear programming economic development model can help  regional planners influence the most desirable type of  growth for rural areas. Optimal resource use, investment,  and industry mix for manufacturing, services. government.  and agriculture are reviewed for nine regional  macroeconomic goals, with the tradeoffs evaluated for  attaining one objective over another. Multiple regression  analysis allows the most desirable industries to be  identified by economic characteristics such as capital  output and value added/labor rather than product type.  Although the results are specific for a region in northwest  Arkansas, the general conclusions should be valid for other  areas as well.},
