The McClellan-Kerr Waterway and Regional Economic Development

Pages : 284
Book Description
This report presents estimates of the economic development impacts due to savings in delivered costs of commodities transported on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. The multiple-region variable input/output model is used to generate the estimates of project impacts. This economic model presents a national view of development impacts from this transportation system. From $50 million transport savings in 1978 the model estimates that 454 additional jobs were created in the 26 waterway counties in Oklahoma and Arkansas, 337 additional jobs were created in the rest of Oklahoma and Arkansas and 1,929 jobs were created in the rest of the U.S. These results make a potentially important contribution to the understanding of the way that transportation projects influence economic development. Far more jobs are created in those areas which receive the savings in delivered costs. This model has been used to generate estimates of the development impacts due to the flood control, hydropower, and recreation features of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. Keywords: Multiregional variable input-output model; Regional technical coefficients; Trade coefficients; Equilibrium price impact; Industrial impact; Economic impact; Inland waterways.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Inland waterways are a host for a mode of transport that is not as visible to the general public or as used as it once was. It is, however, generally perceived to be very important to our freight transport system today, although a closer look into the inland waterway transport system rebuts this perception and reveals the strengths and opportunities of this mode of transportation. This book gives the reader a thorough understanding of the current role of inland waterway transport as a freight transport system and its conditions. Drawing on case studies from across Europe, this text explores the economic, logistic, and technological and policy issues related to inland waterway transport and the challenges that changes in these areas present to this transport mode. It also explores the strategies for the inland waterway transport sector to secure and then enlarge its role in the future of freight transport. Inland Waterway Transport will be an invaluable source for students and researchers of transport studies. In addition, the book will be useful to policymakers and practitioners involved in its development. It may also appeal to wider readers with an interest in the fascinating business of inland waterway transport.
