The Tex$AFE project at Mississippi State University focuses on fiscal impact modeling to support local decision-making. By utilizing input-output analysis and econometric approaches, Tex$AFE provides insights on "what-if" scenarios that help communities estimate fiscal changes and economic impacts from various development initiatives. Strategies like embedding and linking various economic models enhance the robustness of analysis, aiding policymakers in understanding job creation, earnings, and revenue beyond just the direct effects. This tool aims to foster informed community education and sustainability.

Tex$AFE • Decision-making • “What if” scenarios • Community Education • Linkages in a local economy • Policy Analysis
Review of Impact Models • Input-Output Analysis • Wassily Leontief • Computable General Equilibrium • Kraybill et al. 1992 • Econometric • Adams et al. 1975 • Simulation • Law and Kelton 1982
Input-Output Analysis • Wassily Leontief b. 1906 • Nobel Prize, 1973 …for the development of the input output method and for its application to important economic problems. x = (I-A)-1 y
Input-Output Analysis • Advantages • Inexpensive & ease of use • Disadvantages • Theoretical: CRS, fixed inputs, elasticities • Practical: lacks fiscal component, easily abused.
Integrated Modeling • “The theoretical motivation for integrating econometric models with input-output models stems from the restrictive assumptions of either component when used by itself.” • (Rey 2000) • Strategies: • embedding, linking, coupling
Tex$AFE: The Idea • Identify Direct Impacts • Estimate secondary impacts with input-output analysis. • Use total I-O impacts with Tex$AFE. • Estimate fiscal changes.

Tex$AFE: What’s Inside • Spreadsheet Model • Easy to use and maintain • Multiple spreadsheets • Base model data • Local data • Statistical estimators • Modular results
Tex$AFE: Data • Demographic • Population • Total, school-aged, elderly • Commuting • Economic • Jobs, earnings, income, unemployment • Fiscal • County revenues, expenditures • Rates: city, school district, special district

Tex$AFE & Wind Turbines • 82.5 megawatts on 3200 acres • $180 million
Tex$AFE & Wind Turbines • Pecos Wind Farm • Property Taxes: • Buena Vista & Iraan ISDs: $22.8 million (25pv) • County Taxes: • $8.2 million without tax abatement • $2.4 million with tax abatement • Present Value of 10 year tax abatement: • $5,794,276
Tex$AFE & Cheese • $97.5 million • 1 cheese plant • 24 dairy farms
Tex$AFE & Cheese • The county property tax base increases by $109.5 million. • The net fiscal impact for all jurisdictions in the county is $1.275 million annually (nominal dollars). • The net present value of the fiscal impact over 20 years for all jurisdictions is $17.12 million (realdollars).
Tex$AFE & Space Transport • First commercial spaceport in Texas. • Fiscal impacts: • Promo/enabling • Economic impacts: • Ascender Project
