Abstract | The extent of the direct sources of economic stimulus by Georgia State University in Atlanta is estimated. The initial sources of positive economic impact are the local purchases by the university, the payroll spending of its faculty and staff, and spending by students drawn to the local area by the university. This study used techniques developed in similar inquiries at other postsecondary educational institutions. Since the initial expenditures generate additional income in the local area, the university's total economic impact is some multiple of the direct expenditures. This study also examines several techniques commonly used to calculate this local multiplier. The study complements the American Council on Education's guide, "Estimating the Impact of a College or University on the Local Economy" (1971). Whereas the guidebook focuses on estimating the university's initial spending impact, this study is a handbook for the actual calculation of specific multiplier values for the local community under investigation.
