Item 2001 Labor Force Assessment Northeast Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2001) Lichty, Richard W; Porett, Matthew; Moore, Scott; O'Brien, Maureen; McTavish, Donald G; Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Almquist-Minko, Vickie; Smith, Eric; Simonson, JeremyItem Analyzing Housing Demand in Northeast Minnesota and Duluth: Three Scenarios(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1987) Lichty, Richard W; Flannery, Barbara AItem An Approach towards Simulating Links between Minnesota's Economy and the Supply and Demand for Minnesota's Water(University of Minnesota, Duluth, 1987) Lichty, Richard WItem Cook County Winter Trail Use Study: Technical Report(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2003) Kreag, Glenn M; Skurla, James A; Lichty, Richard W; Jacobson, Jean; McTavish, Donald G; Barkataki, Malita; Paukner, AmberThe following technical report on the Cook County resident survey was developed as a part of the larger research project “Tourism and Winter Trail-based Recreation: An economic and environmental comparison of motor and quiet sports.” The project was designed to document and compare the impacts of snowmobiling and cross country skiing in a destination county. It will measure the economic impacts and assess the perceived social and environmental impacts of these activities. This study employed questionnaires with snowmobilers and cross country skiers and survey local residents in Cook County, Minnesota. An understanding of the differences between motor sports (snowmobiling) and a quiet sport (cross country skiing) is useful in planning future development, minimizing negative impacts, and improving marketing decisions.Item Cook County/Grand Portage Alternative Energy(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2005) Skurla, James A; Lichty, Richard W; Doorn, David J; Jacobson, Jean; Almquist-Minko, Vickie; Malik, Nitya; Williams, Joshua; Hochsprung, Paul; Daly, JohnEnergy sustainability must consider social, ecological and economic factors. This contract is to model the economic impacts to the current economy of the Grand Portage MN Tribal Community when the energy supply changes in response to implementing hydrogen based technology. This project will analyze possible impacts generated when the source of energy changes. Most input-output impact analyses assume that, when one industry in a defined region increases its production, the necessary supply of intermediate products needed in production will be available. This assumption implies that local resources are currently underutilized, or that excess capacity exists in the supplying industries.Item Duluth Opinion Survey and Report(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1997) Knudsen, Kjell R; Lichty, Richard W; Jacobson, Jean; Zelenak, Jennifer; Naimpally, Amrita; Lee, Courtney; Nippert, AndrewItem East Central Minnesota: Social and Economic Trends and Implications, Forestry Analysis(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2004) Skurla, James A; Lichty, Richard W; Fleischman, William A; Jacobson, Jean; Barkataki, Malita; Williams, JoshuaItem Economic Impact: Mesaba Metals Copper and Nickel Mining in Northeast Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2003) Lichty, Richard W; Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Almquist-Minko, Vickie; Barkataki, Malita; Paukner, AmberThe UMD Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) was asked to study and estimate economic impacts of proposed copper nickel processing plant using a new mining technology (CESL) in Hoyt Lakes for the East Range Joint Powers Board. The BBER worked closely with Teck Cominico, the East Range Joint Powers Board, and others to determine the key assumptions for development of the IMPLAN1 model. Inputs required for this model included average employment for each year during the construction period, and dollar cost on a year by year basis for the construction period. From these data, Social Accounts, Production, Absorption, and Byproducts information were generated from the national level data and were incorporated into the model. The study s purpose is limited to economic impacts from these activities. Other impacts, such as environmental or social impacts, are not a part of this analysis. Regional data for the impact model for Value Added, Employment, and Output were supplied by comparable study area data; these data for the most recent year (2000) were purchased from IMPLAN for this impact. A key assumption for this analysis is that the comparable mining impact data provided describe a valid proxy for the NE MN proposed copper/nickel mining operation.2Item Economic Impacts of PolyMet's NorthMet Project and other Industrial Projects of Minnesota's East Range Communities(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2005) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Doorn, David J; Lichty, Richard W; Hochsprung, Paul; Malik, Nitya; Daly, John; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Economic Snapshots: Our Region Today and Tomorrow - Supporting Data(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1998) Pustovar, Tom; Oppel, Pete; Knudsen, Kjell R; Lichty, Richard W; Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Barkataki, Monali; Frantzen, RyanThis summary outlines the findings from an analysis of nine defined industries in the Minnesota Power Service Area region. These nine industries contain most of the major firms in the region serviced by Minnesota Power. The analysis looks at the nine industries' contribution to (impact on) the region's economy, contribution to export levels, the historical trends in employment and output for the nine industries, and some views of the future of these industries in the region.Item Estimating the Economic Impacts from an Expanded Waferboard Industry in Northeastern Minnesota(University of Minnesota, Duluth, 1983) Lichty, Richard W; McMillan, David J; Stenberg, PeterItem Forestry Bottleneck Analysis(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2002) Lichty, Richard W; Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Almquist-Minko, Vickie; Barkataki, Malita; Paukner, Amber; Nakka, KiranmeyeeItem Hibbing Business Retention and Expansion Survey and Report Series - Report 1: Hibbing’s Economic Base(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1997) Knudsen, Kjell R; Lichty, Richard W; Jacobson, Jean; Zelenak, Jennifer; Naimpally, Amrita; Lee, Courtney; Nippert, Andrew; Dinneen, AdrienneItem Hibbing Business Retention and Expansion Survey and Report Series - Report 2: Survey Findings(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1997) Knudsen, Kjell R; Lichty, Richard W; Jacobson, Jean; Zelenak, Jennifer; Naimpally, Amrita; Lee, Courtney; Nippert, Andrew; Dinneen, AdrienneItem Hibbing Business Retention and Expansion Survey and Report Series - Report 3: Hibbing's Economic Base Update 1998(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1998) Lichty, Richard W; Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Naimpally, Amrita; Barkataki, Monali; Kukanich, SusanItem Hibbing Business Retention and Expansion Survey and Report Series - Report 4: Hibbing Industries' Trends(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1999) Lichty, Richard W; Jacobson, Jean; Kukanich, Susan; Lehnhoff, James; Rhyu, Jeewon; Smjalovic, Arnela; Wittrock, Tiana; Foslien, KirstenItem The Impact of the Fine and Performing Arts on the Duluth-Superior Growth Center Region: A Selected Study(University of Minnesota, Duluth, 1978) Coffman, Philip H; Jesswein, Wayne A; Lichty, Richard WItem The Impact of UMD on the Duluth-Superior Growth Center Region (1977)(University of Minnesota, Duluth, 1977) Lichty, Richard W; Jesswein, Wayne A; Maki, Willbur RItem The Impact of UMD on the Duluth-Superior Growth Center Region (1981)(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1981) Lichty, Richard W; Jesswein, Wayne AItem Impact Study: Duluth Botanical Gardens/Conservatory(University of Minnesota Duluth, 1999) Lichty, Richard W; Jacobson, Jean; Smajlovic, Arnela
