Community Economic Analysis Tools“technical support to help you understand your local economy”
• Analytical Information and data on the labour force and business sectors
• Technical guidance for incorporating economic analysis into strategy development and implementation.
Benefits/Outcomes• Effective economic development
requires an understanding of the dynamics of the local/regional economy-its current and recent performance, the evolution of its industry structure, the underlying reasons for these trends, and the challenges ahead.
• Leads to the formulation and implementation of strategies that build on local opportunities and address local needs
• ED strategies are developed that influence job creation/retention, improved tax base and improved quality of life
Community Economic Analysis Tools
• Community Business Profiler
• Labour Flow Analysis
• Competitive Advantage Analysis
– Location Quotient Analysis
– Industry Leading-Lagging Analysis
– Carvalho Classification
Community Business ProfilerPresents the number of businesses representing each sector by employment size category for a selected municipality
Labour Flow Analysis
Labour Flow Analysis provides a picture of the movement of labour into and out of a municipality
• Two Labour Flow Analysis Resources:
1. North American Industrial Classification System Version (NAICS)
Compares the number of jobs in each industry held by local residents with the number of jobs in the same industry held by people working in the community
2. North American Occupational Classification System Version (NOCS)
Compares the number of jobs in each occupation held by local residents with the number of jobs in the same occupation held by people working in the community
• Includes a measurement of the relative concentration of employment in each occupation or industry, based on the resident employed labour force and the workforce employed by local establishments.
Occupation-based Labour Flow Analysis
Occupation-based Labour Flow Analysis
OMAFRA’s occupation-based Labour Flow Analysis provides local statistics for 520 occupation categories.
Labour Flow Analysis
• The industrial and occupational mix of the labour force will provide insight into the skill base of the local work force:
– Use the information to make evidence based assumptions of labour market needs and issues
– Use the information to garner support for carrying out projects and making the public aware of the importance of workforce development strategies
– Can be used to match a community’s capabilities and objectives with industries that require those capabilities to help establish what industries are the best prospects
– Use the information to help profile a community to prospects and fulfill information requests about the community
– Use the information to empirically measure the “creative economy” in your community or region.
Competitive Advantage Analysis
1. Location Quotient Analysis– Analysis of industry concentration, relative to Ontario
2. Industry Leading-Lagging Analysis– Analysis of industry growth/decline, relative to Ontario
3. Carvalho Classification– Ranking economic performance
• Provides a broad picture of the local economy, and reveals how business sectors are performing (i.e. growing/declining) in the community
• Provides an indication of business sectors that drive the local economy
• Provides and indication of business sectors that the community offers a competitive advantage.
• Measures the relative concentration of each industry in your local economy compared to a reference area (in our case, Ontario).
% of local employment in industry i
% of provincial employment in industry i
• If LQ>1, industry i, is more concentrated in the region• Sector is more concentrated than the reference area – serves a larger
market - brings new money to the local economy – community has a “competitive advantage” for this industry
Location Quotient Analysis
LQ =
Industry Leading-Lagging Analysis
Describes the relative growth dynamics of provincial and local business sectors
Provincial Sector Relative Growth:
• “Leading” – if the sector’s growth provincially exceeded the overall provincial growth rate for all sectors
• “Lagging” – if the sector’s growth provincially was lower than the overall provincial growth rate for all sectors
Local Sector Relative Growth:
• “Leading” – if the sector’s growth locally was greater than sector’s growth provincially
• “Lagging” – if the sector’s growth locally was lower than provincial sector’s growth provincially
Carvalho Model for Ranking Economic Performance
• Developed by Dr. Emanuel Carvalho – University of Waterloo
• Considers three separate measures to rank sectors:
1. Degree of Concentration– Location Quotient
2. Overall Strength of Industry– Provincial Sector Relative
Growth
3. Local Growth– Local Sector Relative Growth
Location Quotient

transitional 0.75 – 1.25 Lagging Positive
moderate < 0.75 Lagging Positive
promising > 1.25 Leading Lagging
yielding 0.75 – 1.25 Leading Lagging
modest < 0.75 Leading Lagging
Low
challenging > 1.25 Lagging Lagging
vulnerable 0.75 – 1.25 Lagging Lagging
marginal < 0.75 Lagging Lagging
Competitive Advantage Analysis
Competitive Advantage Analysis can point to industries that enjoy local comparative advantages. It cannot, however identify what the actual comparative advantages are.
It is important to identify what factors have contributed to the local comparative advantage:
– Local raw materials or local inputs
– Transportation methods
– Local wage rates
– Influence of local industries
– University influences/College influences
– Local consumption and savings
– Other comparative advantages
Competitive Advantage Analysis
• The results from the Competitive Advantage Analysis should be supplemented with information acquired through a consultation process to identify:
– Industries that possess competitive advantages in the community; and
– Community competitive advantages
• The integration of information gathered through a community consultation process and quantitative analysis provides the foundation for a economic development strategy for the community.
Limitations of Competitive Advantage Analysis
• Time period for data: 2001- 2006
• Based on Census responses
• Results based on employment - some sectors becoming more capital / technology intensive may show decline in employment despite higher productivity
• Municipalities Supported: 249
• Businesses within these Municipalities: 239,000
• Population of these Municipalities: 5,400,000
