The Army's Local Economic Effects: Alabama Summary

Core Content

This report provides an empirical analysis of the economic effects of Army spending on local communities and states in Alabama, focusing on the impact from 2014 to 2017. The study is conducted by the RAND Arroyo Center as part of the "Update on the Army's Local Economic Effects" project, commissioned by the U.S. Army's Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-8.

The report uses input-output models to estimate the economic impact of Army spending, including direct and indirect effects. It distinguishes between different categories of Army spending and employment, and provides detailed data at the state and congressional district levels.

• Army-Driven Economic Output: Total economic output generated by the Army, including direct and additional economic effects.
• All Army Direct Employment: The total number of individuals employed by the Army in a region, including Regular Army, U.S. Army Reserve (USAR), Army National Guard (ARNG), and civilians.
