STATIC AND DYNAMIC AIRPORT ECONOMIC IMPACTS

Economic Impact Studies have been used more for advocacy than analysis. The static framework of impact studies also contains an implicit assumption that the level of economic activity will be continued in perpetuity. This article shows that use of a consistent methodology for measuring economic impacts can yield reliable data concerning trends in composition and levels of activity if these studies are repeated periodically. Studies of nighttime activity at Winnipeg International Airport in 1989, 1994, and 1996 are used to illustrate this point.
