Composition of North Dakota's Economic Base: A Regional Analysis
The economic base of North Dakota and its eight substate regions has changed over the past couple of decades. This report takes an in-depth look at the economic base for each of these areas over the 1958-1984 period. Each of the regions has a unique composition of basic activities that have been responsible for its growth. Natural resource related activities, either in the form of agricultural or energy production, have been the largest source of real economic growth within the state. The purpose of this report is to identify the components of the economic base at substate levels and to show the changes in relative composition for these activities. Price and production data are presented to support and explain the changes that have occurred.Community/Rural/Urban Development, Production Economics,

Socioeconomic Impacts of Lignite Coal Resource Development
Future coal resource development projects in western North Dakota could have significant socioeconomic impacts, especially for the towns and cities near
the project sites. Some of the cities could have relatively rapid and large
increases in employment and population, especially during the construction phase
of the projects. The likely result is for local units to have increases in public
costs that exceed the increases in their public revenues. The reverse is true for
state costs and revenues associated with the projects, and the state's fiscal surplus is projected to exceed the deficits of local units of government

Projecting Public Sector Effects of a New Industry in a Rural Area
This paper presents a model for ex ante evaluation of the effect of new industry on public sector costs and revenues. The model employs input output interdependence coefficients and cost and revenue estimators to evaluate total (direct, indirect, and induced) effects of new industry. Model application is demonstrated
