Research QuestionsResearch Questions
1) Do the geographic units being used by BOEMRE for1) Do the geographic units being used by BOEMRE for planning purposes obscure or distort the potential socioeconomic impacts from offshore oil and gas ti it i f th i ti i l d dactivity in some of the regions or counties included
in the geographic unit?
2) Are there alternative units or approaches that will reduce or avoid such problems?

Geographic Units:Geographic Units:
• The 132‐county area identified as the potential affected area for federal offshore activities on the Gulf of Mexico is organized into
• 13 Economic Areas (EA) and subdivided further into• 13 Economic Areas (EA) and subdivided further into
• 23 Labor Market Areas (LMA).
From the tip of Florida to the Texas/Mexico borderthrough five states

DataData
• Industrial Clusters (17) from IBRC supported by EDA
NAICS E l d i Wh l D 2001 2008• NAICS Employment data via WholeData 2001 to 2008 for oil and gas and associated categories, as well as Travel/Recreation

Some Findings:Some Findings:
• N mero s instances of values calculated for 13• Numerous instances of values calculated for 13 Economic Areas (EAs) obscuring or distorting dimensions of the cluster or industry observable at the level of the 23 Labor Market Areas or 132 counties.

Categories of Distortion:Categories of Distortion:
• “Cancelling Out” Some EAs/LMAs are composed of i h diff i h diffcounties that are very different with very different
proportions of oil and gas activity that EA‐level measures tend to “cancel out.” EGs. TX‐1: Corpus Christi/Brownsville, LA‐3 Baton Rouge/Houma
• “Numerical Dominance” Some EAs/LMAs include counties that are so large relative to the others thatcounties that are so large relative to the others that even extreme concentrations or changes in smaller counties do not influence the unit totals. TX‐3: Houston/Galveston, LA‐1 Lake Charles (travel & recreation).

Categories of Distortion - cont.Categories of Distortion cont.
• “Meaningless Averages” Some counties in units are so different in relative importance and concentration that the average for the EA or LMA does not representthat the average for the EA or LMA does not represent any of the members. LA‐4 New Orleans
