{"title":"The Economic Base of North Dakota: A Measure of the State’s Economy in 2012","authors":"Randal C. Coon, D. A. Bangsund, N. Hodur","doi":"10.22004/AG.ECON.189888","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22004/AG.ECON.189888","url":null,"abstract":"The growth and composition of the North Dakota economy can be measured using economic base analysis. Economic base is defined as the value of goods and services exported from an economic unit. Economic base also can be called a region’s export base because industries (or ‘basic’ sectors) earn income from outside the area. North Dakota’s economic base is comprised of those activities that produce a product or a service purchased by individuals, governments, and businesses located outside of the state. Economic base estimates represent dollars coming into the economy in exchange for exported goods and services. By contrast, economic impact and economic contribution assessments for industries examine the net and gross in-state business volumes, respectively. Comparisons of economic base estimates to economic contribution or economic impact assessments are not appropriate as those evaluations represent different economic measures. Also, measuring the state’s industries using Gross State Product does not provide comparable metrics to economic base, economic impact, or economic contribution assessments. The numbers presented in this report are part of an ongoing data set used to measure export sales in North Dakota. That data base is often used to illustrate changes in the state’s economy and differences in the relative sizes of industries in various regions of the state. North Dakota’s economy has traditionally been driven by natural resource-based activities, i.e., agriculture, coal, and petroleum. Growth in the state’s basic sector industries has accelerated since 2000 with agriculture and energy providing the impetus for this expansion. Efforts to diversify the state’s economy in the 1990s and early 2000s can be linked to the expansion of the state’s economic base, as growth in previous periods was steady, but moderate. More recently, the development of shale oil in the Williston Basin has created the largest change in the state’s economic base. North Dakota’s economic base has grown from $8.3 billion in 1990 to $42.3 billion in 2012 when measured in current (nominal dollars). In terms of constant dollars (removal of the effects of inflation), the state’s economic base went from $13.9 billion in 1990 to $42.3 billion in 2012. From 2011 to 2012, all economic base activities in the state grew in real terms except Federal payments. Agriculture grew by 13.7 percent from 2011 to 2012 (please note that agricultural processing and farm input manufacturing are not included with the agriculture industry due to data limitations). The petroleum sector grew by 100 percent from 2011 to 2012 (gas and crude oil processing is included as data is available to estimate those activities separately from oil and gas production). Manufacturing (which includes agricultural processing and farm input manufacturing) grew by 14.3 percent. Coal mining and conversion was nearly constant from 2011 to 2012, as growth was only 0.1 percent. Tourism grew in real terms by 3.3 percen","PeriodicalId":416691,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Series Reports","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125322589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the mid-1990's, a growing number of recreational land buyers purchased land for wildlife habitat and hunting, rather than for farm derived income. A survey of the area was done to determine land ownership characteristics, information about land that was rented and leased out, and attitudes toward key issues facing landowners and farm and ranch operators. The average landowner owned 3,089.4 acres comprised mainly of pastureland/rangeland (2,242.6 acres) and cropland (473.3 acres). Ownership of farmland was primarily from purchases (70.6 percent) and inheritance (26.1 percent). The most popular types of ownership were sole proprietorships (52.1 percent) and family partnerships (31.7 percent). Pastureland/rangeland rented in larger tracts, with 46.8 percent over 640 acres. These contracts were most common in one-year lengths, but the lease tenure was more than 10 years for two-thirds of the respondents. Cropland was generally rented in smaller acreages, and the most common lease length was the 2- 3 year category. Rented cropland had the highest rate (66.7 percent) of absentee landowners. Renters strongly agree that absentee landowners are inclined to develop long-term relationships with tenants, and developing these relationships is critical to securing long-term agreements. Absentee landowners indicated that having a good relationship with their tenant (84.6 percent) was very important, as were the tenant conservation practices (61.3 percent) and tenant land-use intentions (51.1 percent).","PeriodicalId":416691,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Series Reports","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134619304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Results Of The North Dakota Land Valuation Model For The 2006 Agricultural Real Estate Assessment","authors":"Dwight G. Aakre, Harvey G. Vreugdenhil","doi":"10.22004/AG.ECON.128042","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22004/AG.ECON.128042","url":null,"abstract":"This report summarizes the 2006 results of the North Dakota Land Valuation Model. The model is used annually to estimate average land values by county, based on the value of production from cropland and non-cropland. The county land values developed from this procedure form the basis for the 2006 valuation of agricultural land for real estate tax assessment. The average \"all land value\" from this analysis is multiplied by the total acres of agricultural land on the county abstract to determine each county's total agricultural land value for taxation purposes. The State Board of Equalization compares this value with the total value assessed to agricultural property in each county. Each county is required by state statute to assess a total value of agricultural property within 5 percent of this value. The average value per acre of all agricultural land in North Dakota increased by 6.68 percent based on the value of production. Cropland value increased by 6.4 percent and non-cropland value increased by 7.76 percent. The formula capitalization rate was below the minimum set by the State Legislature, therefore the minimum rate of 8.3 percent was used. Changes in market value are included for comparison. Market value data are from the annual County Rents and Values survey conducted by North Dakota Agricultural Statistics Service.","PeriodicalId":416691,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Series Reports","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116153375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Membership in a NAMA student chapter allows students to network with professionals, develop their marketing and communication skills, and develop leadership and team-building skills. A survey of student chapter advisors was used to identify what facilitates and what constrains student chapter success. Advisors indicated the opportunity and enjoyment of the national conference and professional and career development opportunities to be the most important reasons students participate in student NAMA. The opportunity to network with professionals, they noted to be the most important advantage of participation, followed by experience in developing/presenting a formal marketing plan. A clear consensus among advisors was that the students themselves make student NAMA successful, in particular the leadership skills of students. They also indicated that students themselves can make student NAMA unsuccessful, particularly when they are not motivated. Other threads of concern include constraint on faculty time, lack of support from the university (financial, student credit hours), and a professional chapter. Professional NAMA should take advantage of its focus of marketing to help grow and maintain viable student chapters. The value of student NAMA needs to be marketed to students, faculty-advisors, academic administrators, and professionals. Professional members can get to know the students and provide tangible incentives to encourage them to network. They can help faculty recruit students and encourage/entice them to be active in the student and the professional NAMA chapters, can provide financial assistance to the student organization, and can help faculty market student NAMA throughout the university. Academic advisors can get to know their professional members, work with them to recruit highly motivated students, and ensure the proper incentives are in place to help maintain student motivation.","PeriodicalId":416691,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Series Reports","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121380595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kaatz","doi":"10.22004/AG.ECON.23656","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22004/AG.ECON.23656","url":null,"abstract":"Tourism has become an important economic sector in many parts of the world, and many regions, states, and local areas are increasingly looking to expenditures by visitors as a potential source of economic growth. Some communities have developed facilities to host sports events or other forms of entertainment to attract out-of-town visitors. Thus, the multi-purpose sports arena/auditorium has joined the industrial park as a community economic development initiative. This paper estimates the economic contribution of a multi-purpose sports and auditorium facility located in Fargo, North Dakota. Since opening its doors in December of 1992, the FARGODOME has hosted a wide variety of sporting events (e.g., college and high school football, rodeo, professional basketball), concerts, trade shows, and other forms of entertainment (e.g., ice shows, circuses, motor sports events). The purpose of this study was to estimate the contribution that FARGODOME event attendees and participants make to the Fargo area economy. The assessment process included (1) determining the residency and expenditure patterns of event attendees and participants, (2) estimating the aggregate direct economic contribution to the area economy by combining event attendee attributes and expenditures with FARGODOME records of the number of events held at the facility and attendance at each, and (3) estimating the secondary economic impacts associated with the FARGODOME's direct economic contribution. Event attendees' and participants' (e.g., exhibitors, athletes, and accompanying persons) place of residence and expenditures were obtained through intercept surveys of attendees/participants at selected FARGODOME events. The expenditures made directly by the FARGODOME to local entities (i.e., for payroll, benefits, utilities, etc.) were added to the attendees'/participants' expenditures outside the facility to arrive at the total direct economic impact (contribution) to the Fargo area. Then, the North Dakota Input-Output Model was used to estimate the secondary (multiplier) effects resulting from FARGODOME activities. Economic impacts will be reported using indicators such as gross business volume (gross receipts) of various economic sectors (e.g., retail trade), personal income, and employment.","PeriodicalId":416691,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Series Reports","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117247796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The community is engaged in a planning process seeking to revitalize the local retail sector, and a survey was administered to obtain information about residents’ shopping patterns and preferences. A questionnaire was developed and distributed door-to-door to local residents, while a second questionnaire was distributed at the Underwood high school. The responses represented a majority of both target populations. Underwood residents most often reported purchasing groceries, convenience items, and personal services in Underwood. On the other hand, nongrocery personal items, major purchases (e.g., appliances), and nongrocery household items were most often purchased in Bismarck (a small metro about 60 miles away). Youth respondents most often reported purchasing gasoline and auto supplies in Underwood, while all other categories were most often purchased in Bismarck. The most frequent reasons for purchasing items other than in Underwood were that the item was not available in Underwood and other locations had a better selection of merchandise. The types of businesses that residents would most like to see in Underwood were a family restaurant, a hardware store, and a supper club. When asked if they would be willing to pay more to have a good or service available locally, more than 40 percent of households would pay more for eating out, convenience items, nongrocery retail shopping, and entertainment.","PeriodicalId":416691,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Series Reports","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127414227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
