The project aims to identify and evaluate opportunities for increasing income and employment in North Dakota through new or expanded primary sector activities. Research reported here reflects the economic impacts of several North Dakota industries. The oil and gas industry has expanded dramatically in recent years with direct economic effects of nearly $12 billion in 2011 up 107 percent since 2009. An assessment of the economic effects of activities related to state parks and recreation districts and North Dakota state parks estimated spending associated with parks and recreation activities, programs and facilities to be over $67 million in 2012. Hunter and angler expenditures in North Dakota were estimated to be nearly $643 million in 2011, an 8 percent increase over 2001 estimates. Direct economic effects from the operations of North Dakota’s five tribal colleges total over $43 million with student expenditures of an additional $15 million. Project findings were of great interest to policy makers, state and local leaders, decision makers, investors and economic developers and media as findings provided descriptions of the economic significance of a key economic sectors, activities sponsored by and related to parks and recreation, hunter and angler expenditures and the state’s tribal colleges.

Outputs
OUTPUTS: Project findings have been reported in a number of formats. Over the past year, 4 departmental research reports have been prepared and made available both in hard copy and via a website (http://ageconsearch.umn.edu). Six articles were made available through the Ag Marketing Resource Centers website. Findings were shared with professional peers through presentations at national and international meetings. The research focuses on the current status and future prospects of the region's major economic sectors. Because of interest in the findings on the part of state decision makers, the project team has been invited to make a number of presentations to local, regional, and statewide groups. Over the past year, four presentations have been given to audiences totaling more than 250. These audiences can be characterized as decision makers from across the state and region. Project findings also have been of great interest to the media. Project activities have been the basis for seven articles in local and regional media, as well as radio and television interviews. PARTICIPANTS: Not relevant to this project. TARGET AUDIENCES: State and local decision makers, particularly those dealing with economic development issues. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.
Impacts
The aim of this project is to identify and evaluate opportunities for increasing income and employment of North Dakota residents through new or expanded primary sector activities. Research reported here reflects a number of analyses of present or potential economic sectors or activities. A recent study examined the economic contribution of the lignite industry to the state in 2009. Direct and secondary economic effects were estimated at $983 million and $200 million respectively. The industry is estimated to support almost 28,000 jobs throughout the state economy. Another recent project documented the growth of North Dakota's petroleum sector from 2005 to 2009. From 2005 to 2009 total direct expenditures by the petroleum sector increased by 83 percent in real (inflation-adjusted)terms. State and local governments increased 178 percent in real terms. Impacts of the project include increasing the economic information available to numerous decision makers concerning economic development opportunities in North Dakota and the impacts of various agricultural and resource development activities on the state's economy. Another outcome is that a student partially funded on the project completed her PhD. in 2010.

Progress 10/01/08 to 09/30/09
Outputs
OUTPUTS: Project findings have been reported in a number of formats. Over the past year, 7 departmental research reports have been prepared and made available both in hard copy and via a website. Findings were shared with professional peers through presentations at national and international meetings, as well as two refereed journal articles. Because of interest in the findings on the part of state decision makers, the project team has been invited to make a number of presentations to local, regional, and statewide groups. Over the past year, 10 presentations have been given to audiences totaling more than 500. Project findings also have been of great interest to the media. Project activities have been the basis for 17 articles in local and regional media, as well as radio and television interviews. PARTICIPANTS: Not relevant to this project. TARGET AUDIENCES: State and local decision makers, particularly those dealing with economic development issues. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period.
Impacts
The aim of this project is to identify and evaluate opportunities for increasing income and employment of North Dakota residents through new or expanded primary sector activities. Research reported here reflects a number of analyses of present or potential economic sectors or activities. A recent study examined the economic contribution of the petroleum industry to the state in 2007. Industry-wide direct and secondary economic impacts from the petroleum industry were estimated at $3.1 billion and $5.1 billion respectively. Another measure of the industry's economic importance to the state included estimated direct employment of more than 7,700 jobs. A similar study examined the economic contribution of constructing and operating a 159-megawatt wind farm. Construction resulted in one-time payments to North Dakota entities of more than $56 million. Operation supports 10 full-time jobs and results in payments to local entities of $1.4 million annually, in addition to local tax payments of almost $500 million. A study of the economic impact of meeting the EISA biofuel mandates revealed that the impact could be extensive. A single plant producing 50 million gallons of ethanol per year from agricultural residues could employ 77 workers in addition to the persons involved in harvesting and transporting the feedstock. If production capacity were to be located proportionally to biomass supplies, 60 percent of biofuel production capacity could be located in the North Central Region. Impacts of the project include increasing the economic information available to numerous decision makers concerning economic development opportunities in North Dakota and the impacts of various agricultural and resource development activities on the state's economy.

Impacts
The aim of this project is to identify and evaluate opportunities for increasing income and employment of North Dakota residents through new or expanded primary sector activities. Research reported here reflects a number of analyses of present or potential economic sectors or activities. A recent study examined the economic contribution of the lignite industry to the North Dakota economy. The authors found that in 2007 the firms comprising the lignite mining and conversion industry made direct expenditures totaling nearly $807 million to firms and households within the state. When secondary and total effects were estimated using an Input-Output model, the total impacts were $2.4 billion, including $753 million in added personal income for North Dakota residents. The industry also provided more than $89 million in tax revenues to the state. Impacts of the project include increasing the economic information available to numerous decision makers concerning economic development opportunities in North Dakota and the impacts of various agricultural and resource development activities on the state's economy.
