  "definition": "Multiplier analysis method for estimating regional economic effects of projects. It is particularly suited to rural areas. The economy is divided in-to two sectors, \"export\" and \"service\". The export sector includes all goods and services produced for consumption outside the region being evaluated. The service sector includes all other economic activity. The ex-port sector is assumed to create the need for the service sector, and a multiplier is calculated for each export industry, relating employment in the service sector to the level of activity in that industry. By determining project effects on the export industries, the total economic effects can be estimated. (After Convery 1973)",
