Abstract: | In this paper we outline an I-O modeling approach tailored to the needs of rural area analysis. We cover four essential features.
First, the rural area I-O model must convey an individual community focus. Second, the household sector must be defined in
a manner that specifically captures the great openness of rural community economies. Third, the model should offer a degree
of closure that provides an assessment of the community economic base. And finally, the rural community I-O model must be
defined to include estimates of intercommunity trade, and intercommunity multiplier effects. Having laid the theoretical foundations,
we identify subcounty data sources, and describe a collection of nonsurvey and hybrid approaches for estimating model components.
The community I-O approach is illustrated next, with an empirical example from central Idaho. The paper closes with a discussion
that considers the implications of community I-O in other contexts, including I-O analysis in less developed countries, and
in addressing modeling issues in larger nonrural regions.
