It puts forward the demometric approach, one that applies econometric methods to the analysis of demoeconomic growth. Two alternative models are proposed here. The first is an aggregate model presenting a demometric revision of the traditional economic-base model. The second model, an enlarged version of the first, is characterized by a breakdown of economic activities into nine major sectors. Both models are fitted to data for the rapidly growing metropolitan area of Tucson, Arizona, USA. They are then used to derive tentative impact and dynamic multipliers which substantiate the role of households as consumers and suppliers of labor in the development of the Tucson Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA). The major finding is that, for the same level of resources, the second model yields better policy implications than the modified (and therefore also than the traditional) economic-base model. date: 1978 date_type: published publisher: SAGE id_number: 10.1068/a100537 creators_browse_id: 2102 full_text_status: none publication: Environment and Planning A volume: 10 number: 5 pagerange: 537-560 refereed: TRUE issn: 0308-518X coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Ledent, J.
