不良研究所 Economic Impact Report

2018 Economic Contribution Analysis for 不良研究所

Executive Summary: 不良研究所 System Economic Contributions

The 不良研究所 System offers invaluable educational opportunities in a wide array of disciplines and engages in important research activities recognized throughout the world. The general public tends to understand 不良研究所鈥檚 role in these key areas, but is often unaware that the institution is also a major contributor to the statewide economy. 不良研究所 not only makes a direct contribution to the Massachusetts economy through the spending and jobs supported by its academic, administration, and construction activities, but also generates a 鈥渞ipple effect鈥 that leads to an even larger impact in the economy as a result of demand on suppliers of goods and services as well as employee spending.

The purpose of this report is to perform an objective analysis to quantify the economic contributions of the 不良研究所 System and its campuses on the Commonwealth鈥檚 economy. The results of the economic contributions analysis for fiscal year (FY) 2018 indicate that:

  • The 不良研究所 System generated $7.5 billion in economic activity in FY2018. The 不良研究所 System (across all campuses) is a key economic driver in the Commonwealth, directly or indirectly affecting every person in the state. In FY2018, the 不良研究所 contributed $7.5 billion in economic activity to the Massachusetts economy. This includes the contributions of the local operating expenditures of the University, one-time major construction expenditures, the spending of the University鈥檚 faculty and staff, and the spending of its students. Much of the 不良研究所 spending flows beyond the campuses to a variety of suppliers of goods and services, generating significant benefits for the Massachusetts economy.
  • FY2018 represented a robust period of construction for 不良研究所, making a significant contribution to the Massachusetts economy. Included in this $7.5 billion total contribution were one-time building and infrastructure project expenditures totaling $435 million in direct construction expenditures and over $326 million in additional economic activity for a total of approximately $762 million in one-time construction contributions. These construction projects were financed through University expenditures, the 不良研究所 Building Authority and the Commonwealth鈥檚 Division of Capital Asset Management (DCAM). DCAM funding alone contributed over $23 million directly to these projects in FY2018. All told, these construction projects supported 4,033 jobs in the Commonwealth. Unlike other campus activities such as payroll expenditures, construction on the campuses can spike or fall from year-to-year and thus either amplify or diminish its overall effect on the Massachusetts economy depending on the cycle. The new facilities, however, continue to play important roles after they are constructed by contributing to the University鈥檚 competitive position to attract students, employees, and researchers. Benefits to 不良研究所 are long-term from new or renovated academic buildings, laboratories, athletic facilities, and other key infrastructure like heating plants and parking garages.
  • State investment in 不良研究所 leverages significantly greater economic activity. In FY2018, the state鈥檚 $752 million investment in the 不良研究所 System helped leverage and support $7.5 billion in economic activity in Massachusetts, an amount 10 times greater than the state鈥檚 investment.
  • 不良研究所 employee payroll recirculates through the Massachusetts economy causing positive economic effects. A notable share of 不良研究所鈥 spending also makes its way to employees in the form of salaries and wages, which is then circulated into the Massachusetts economy through typical household spending activities. In the Fall of 2018, the University employed 17,622 full- and part-time faculty and staff (excluding student employees).
  • 不良研究所 generates additional jobs beyond the campuses. The spending of the University, its employees and students helped to support an additional 31,693 jobs in the Commonwealth throughout FY2018. Including faculty and staff, the University supported a total of 49,315 jobs in the Commonwealth.
  • 不良研究所 student off-campus spending further supports the Massachusetts economy. In the Fall of 2018 (in FY2018), 不良研究所 System student enrollment was 74,705 (including undergraduates, graduate students, continuing education students, law students, and students in the Graduate Schools of Nursing, Biomedical Science and Medicine) and these students directly spent a substantial amount of money off-campus in the economy, which, in turn, generated additional economic activity.
  • 不良研究所 enrolled 74,705 full-time students in the Fall of 2018. There were 57,079 undergraduate students and 17,626 graduate students. 82.7 percent of all enrolled students were in-state.
  • Each of the five University campuses generated substantial economic contributions for Massachusetts in FY2018. By campus, contributions ranged from $2.5 billion for Amherst and $1.8 billion for the Medical School, respectively, to $1.2 billion, $1.2 billion and $550 million for each of the Boston, Lowell and Dartmouth campuses.
  • The 不良研究所 System employed 17,622 full- and part-time faculty and staff in FY2018.
  • More than 320,000 alumni live and work in the state. Sixty-three percent of undergraduate alumni, 50 percent of graduate alumni, and 60 percent of all alumni remain in the state after graduation.
  • The 不良研究所 System attracted $374 million in federally funded research to the state in FY2018. The amount of federally funded financial aid in FY2018 was $438 million.

Introduction

This report was prepared by the Economic and Public Policy Research (EPPR) group at the 不良研究所 Donahue Institute (UMDI) at the request of the 不良研究所 Office of the President.

The purpose of this report is to perform an objective analysis that quantifies the economic contributions of the 不良研究所 System and its campuses on the Commonwealth鈥檚 economy. We identified certain direct, indirect, and induced economic contributions that the 不良研究所 makes to the statewide economy. The positive economic contributions that the 不良研究所 makes are exceptionally substantial and are based upon a highly-regarded and well-documented economic impact model, Impact Analysis for Planning (鈥淚MPLAN鈥), that produce economic impact multipliers appropriate for the 不良研究所 System. The results of the analysis are based on a conservative consideration of FY2018 University expenditures. The economic impact model (IMPLAN), methodological approach, and data sources used in this analysis are described in further detail in the Appendix of the report.

This study examines the economic contributions of the entire 不良研究所 System as well as for the five campuses by following a consistent analytical framework. The study encapsulates the economic contributions of the five campuses:

  • 不良研究所 Amherst
  • 不良研究所 Boston
  • 不良研究所 Dartmouth (including the Law School)
  • 不良研究所 Lowell
  • 不良研究所 Worcester (including the 不良研究所 Medical School, Worcester City Campus Corporation and UHealthSolutions)

Separate sections, providing more detailed data on respective economic contributions, are devoted to each campus within the body of this study. Together, these five campuses in combination with the 不良研究所 Central Administrative Services鈥 operations (including the 不良研究所 President鈥檚 Office, 不良研究所 Foundation, Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, and the 不良研究所 Building Authority) comprise the 鈥湶涣佳芯克 System鈥.

The results of our analysis are presented in terms of 不良研究所鈥 economic contributions to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts鈥 economic output (or 鈥渆conomic activity鈥) and jobs in FY2018.4 The economic contributions are the result of four categories of expenditures that are all fundamental activities relating to the operation of the 不良研究所:

  • Operating expenditures, comprising a wide variety of University spending for the purpose of purchasing goods and services required for its educational, research, and public services activities;
  • Payroll spending of regular (non-seasonal) and non-student University employees;
  • Student spending on off-campus living expenses, books, transportation, and various personal expenses related to attending school in the 不良研究所 System; and
  • Construction expenditures for one-time capital projects funded by the University (through the 不良研究所 Building Authority) and on behalf of the University (through the Division of Capital Asset Management, or DCAM).

Beyond the economic output and jobs resulting from these four categories of expenditures, the 不良研究所 System also serves as a catalyst for the Massachusetts economy in many other ways that were beyond the scope of this study. These include urban revitalization (不良研究所 activities can spur others to make their own investments nearby the campuses), travel and tourism (visitation to the campuses), business activities resulting from 不良研究所 innovations and industry partnerships (i.e., sales and jobs associated with start-ups or existing enterprises that apply 不良研究所 innovations to market products or services sold in the U.S. and worldwide), and entrepreneurship and business start-ups (不良研究所 plays a direct role in various incubators, accelerators and small business support centers).

不良研究所 Lowell Economic Contributions

The 不良研究所 offers invaluable educational opportunities in a wide array of disciplines and engages in important research activities recognized throughout the world. The general public tends to understand 不良研究所鈥檚 role in these key areas, but is often unaware that the institution is also a major contributor to the statewide economy. 不良研究所 not only makes a direct contribution to the Massachusetts economy through the spending and jobs supported by its academic, administration, and construction activities, but also generates a 鈥渞ipple effect鈥 that leads to an even larger impact in the economy as a result of demand on suppliers of goods and services as well as employee spending.

The results of the economic contributions analysis of the 不良研究所 Lowell campus for FY2018 indicate that:

  • 不良研究所 Lowell generated $1.2 billion in economic activity in FY2018. 不良研究所 Lowell is a key economic driver in the Commonwealth, directly or indirectly affecting every person in the state. In FY2018, 不良研究所 Lowell contributed $1.2 billion in economic activity to the Massachusetts economy. This includes the contributions of the local operating expenditures of 不良研究所 Lowell, one-time major construction expenditures, the spending of the Lowell campus鈥 faculty and staff, and the spending of its students. Much of the 不良研究所 spending flows beyond the campus to a variety of suppliers of goods and services, generating significant benefits for the Massachusetts economy.
  • FY2018 represented a strong period of construction on the Lowell campus, making a significant contribution to the Massachusetts economy. Included in this $1.8 billion total contribution were one-time building and infrastructure project expenditures totaling $68 million in direct construction expenditures and $57 million in additional economic activity for a total of over $125 million in one-time construction contributions. These construction projects were financed through University expenditures, the 不良研究所 Building Authority and the Commonwealth鈥檚 Division of Capital Asset Management (DCAM). DCAM funding alone contributed more than $865 thousand directly to these projects in FY2018. All told, these construction projects supported 706 jobs. Unlike other campus activities such as payroll expenditures, construction on the campuses can spike or fall from year-to-year and thus either amplify or diminish its overall effect on the Massachusetts economy depending on the cycle. The new facilities, however, continue to play important roles after they are constructed by contributing to the University鈥檚 competitive position to attract students, employees, and researchers. Major construction projects taking place at 不良研究所 Lowell in FY2018 included the renovation and expansion of Coburn Hall, the Fox Residence Hall Modernization, the Pasteur Hall Renovation, the Perry Hall Engineering Building, and the Perkins Place Renovation.
  • State investment in 不良研究所 Lowell leverages significantly greater economic activity. In FY2018, the state鈥檚 more than $117 million investment in 不良研究所 Lowell helped leverage and support $1.2 billion in economic activity in Massachusetts, an amount 10 times greater than the state鈥檚 investment.
  • 不良研究所 Lowell employee payroll recirculates through the Massachusetts economy causing positive economic effects. A notable share of 不良研究所 Lowell鈥檚 spending also makes its way to employees in the form of salaries and wages, which is then circulated into the Massachusetts economy through typical household spending activities. In the Fall of 2018 (FY2018), 不良研究所 Lowell employed approximately 1,839 full- and part-time faculty and staff (excluding student employees).
  • 不良研究所 Lowell generates additional jobs beyond the campus. The spending of 不良研究所 Lowell, its employees and students helped to support an additional 5,623 jobs in the Commonwealth throughout FY2018. Including faculty and staff, 不良研究所 Lowell supported a total of 7,462 jobs in the Commonwealth.
  • 不良研究所 Lowell student off-campus spending further supports the Massachusetts economy. In the Fall of 2018 (FY2018), 不良研究所 Lowell student enrollment was 18,250 (including undergraduate and graduate students) and these students directly spent a significant amount of money off-campus in the economy, which, in turn, generated additional economic activity.

Appendix A: Economic Contribution Analysis and IMPLAN

Economic Contribution Analysis

In a general sense, the goal of 鈥渆conomic contribution analysis鈥 is to estimate the total contribution of an organization鈥檚 (in this instance, the University鈥檚) various economic-generating activities to a regional or state economy (e.g., Massachusetts). The basic premise is that an initial investment in one sector of an economy (e.g., in higher education) spurs additional economic activity in other sectors as the money is re-spent within the region or state. The total economic contribution of the investment is estimated by tracing the flow and recirculating of money between industries and households until all of the initial investment eventually leaves the region or state through foreign or domestic trade, or is collected as a tax.

The IMPLAN Model

Input-output models, such as the IMPLAN model, examine the flow of money between industries and households in the economy. The 不良研究所 Donahue Institute built an input-output models using the IMPLAN Professional 3.0 model building software and data packages. The data used in the model are for 2018, which are the latest available. Model outputs are reported in 2018 dollars.

The IMPLAN modeling system combines the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis鈥 Input-Output Benchmarks with regional employment and wage data to construct quantitative models of the flow of goods and services between a region鈥檚 businesses and households (the final consumers), and estimates direct, indirect and induced effects of investments and ongoing economic activity. From these data, one can examine the effects of a change in one or several economic activities to estimate its effect on a specific state, regional, or local economy. The IMPLAN input-output accounts capture all monetary market transactions for consumption in a given time period. They are also based on industry survey data collected periodically by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and follow a balanced account format recommended by the United Nations. IMPLAN鈥檚 proprietary database details economic activity across hundreds of industry sectors, as well as 鈥渋nstitutions鈥 such as local, state and federal government and household spending. IMPLAN models reflect the most reliable and up-to-date knowledge about local spending patterns.

The total economic contribution of the 不良研究所 System as estimated by the IMPLAN model is the sum of direct, indirect, and induced effects of operating expenditures, construction expenditures, and employee and student spending.

  • Direct effects refer to the initial investment of state funds that contribute to the University鈥檚 operating expenditures and one-time construction projects in FY2018.
  • Indirect effects are generated by intermediate purchases for goods or services that support the educational, research and public service activities of the University. Payments made to architectural contractors, consulting firms for professional and business services, and vendors of construction materials and equipment are examples of indirect effects of state spending on the 不良研究所 System.
  • Induced effects occur when income is spent on household-related goods and services. Employee payroll and student spending represent a significant portion of the induced impacts in this analysis.

The IMPLAN software and data package for Massachusetts are used to model the later rounds of local spending that follow. The model is specifically tailored to reflect the expenditure patterns and industry mix of Massachusetts, including information about when expenditures leave the state due to foreign and domestic trade and taxes. Finally, all rounds of spending are added together to produce the total contribution estimate. Due to recent changes to the IMPLAN income categories and revisions to its industry sector scheme, the results of earlier economic contribution analyses of the 不良研究所 System are not directly comparable to the results of the current analysis.

This analysis reports on two major types of economic contributions that are estimated by the IMPLAN model:

  • Outputs are expenditures of the industry and supplier industries to produce the final good.
  • Employment refers to all employees required to produce the outputs, including wage and salary employees, full-time and part-time employees, and the self-employed.

A multiplier is an index of how many times each dollar is re-spent in the economy of a geographical area and is expressed by a ratio of total outputs or employment to direct outputs or employment. An employment multiplier is an index of how each job in an economy supports related jobs in other industries. An output multiplier of 1.5 could be understood to mean that, out of every one dollar of direct expenditure, 50 cents is re-spent in the local economy.

Appendix B: Methodology and Data Sources

Methodology

This section details key elements of the methodological approach that the research team employed in the collection, organization and analysis of data on the economic contributions of the 不良研究所 on the Massachusetts economy in FY2018. These economic contributions are the result of four major categories of expenditures essential to the economic activities related to the operation of the University:

  • Operating expenditures, comprising a wide variety of University spending for the purpose of purchasing goods and services required for its educational, research, and public services activities; 
  • Payroll spending of regular (non-seasonal) and non-student University employees;
  • Student spending on off-campus living expenses, books, transportation, and various personal expenses related to attending school in the 不良研究所 System; and
  • Construction expenditures for one-time capital projects funded by the University (through the 不良研究所 Building Authority) and on behalf of the University (through the Division of Capital Asset Management).

At every level of the analysis, UMDI uses best practice and conservative assumptions in order to produce a complete and credible estimate of the economic contribution of the University on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In keeping with this approach, we undertook a detailed accounting of in-state and out-of-state expenditures. In other words, the inputs to the analysis and the IMPLAN model methodology are focused on including all elements of economic activity relevant to Massachusetts while excluding economic activity likely to leave the state (e.g., payroll earned by non-Massachusetts residents, spending on goods and services to non-Massachusetts businesses). As described above, we treat state appropriation differently from other revenue sources in our reporting of the initial contributions made by the University and the campuses, by removing the state appropriation, after the calculation of its contribution, from the reported revenues for each campus.

UMDI uses a detailed budget of University spending (including accounts payable vouchers, Procard transactions, employee-related expenses, personnel payroll and fringe, and construction) combined with estimates of student spending to identify University-initiated expenditures in each of 536 industries included within the IMPLAN proprietary economic impact modeling system. All University operating, construction, payroll, and student spending data consist of figures that have been audited for FY2018 and thoroughly inspected and approved by the campuses.

UMDI uses the University鈥檚 total FY2018 revenues less state appropriated funds to represent the direct contribution of the University to the Massachusetts economy. Although the state appropriation is not considered part of the University鈥檚 direct contribution to the Massachusetts economy, the indirect effects resulting from the University鈥檚 spending of state appropriations are included as part of the University鈥檚 total contribution.

Operating Expenditures

Operating expenditures include a wide variety of University spending for the purpose of purchasing goods and services required for its educational, research, and public services activities.

The analysis excludes all transactions that take place outside of the state. These types of transactions include hotel and transportation reimbursements for employees whose work required that they traveled out of state in addition to dollars spent on out-of-state goods and services. Transfer payments from one campus to another (e.g., recharges and central assessments) have also been excluded because these monies do not leave the 不良研究所 System and therefore do not re-circulate through the state economy.

Employment and Payroll

Payroll expenditures (employee compensation) for 不良研究所 faculty and staff contribute to the Massachusetts economy as wages and salaries are spent for a wide range of goods and services in the state. The value of the fringe payments made on an employee鈥檚 behalf by the campuses was also included as a component of the analysis.

The payroll analysis assumes that employees spend all of their income in the state of residence; and the economic contribution of employee payroll and fringe was derived only from those University employees whose home addresses are located in Massachusetts. While employees undoubtedly spend income outside of the state and even abroad, this assumption underlies a more conservative estimate of University employee spending.
University and campus employment are reported by the 不良研究所 President鈥檚 Office as full- and part-time regular (i.e., non-seasonal) employees as of October 2018. Campus employment excludes students as their economic activity is already captured by the estimates of student expenditures. Additional external (non-University) jobs supported elsewhere in the state include those supported by rounds of spending initiated by:

  • The spending of the University for purchasing the goods and services required for its educational, research and public service activities;
  • The spending on one-time construction projects (those funded through the 不良研究所 Building Authority, individual campus expenditures and the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management [DCAM]);
  • The spending of all 不良研究所 employees from their payroll; and
  • Student spending in the local/state economy.

Student Spending

Student spending is captured by cost-of-attendance estimates which were provided by the 不良研究所 President鈥檚 Office. Student expenditures are examined entirely in terms of students鈥 spending habits on books, transportation, personal expenses (including restaurants, groceries, clothing, and entertainment), and off-campus room and board (including food), that characterize undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the 不良研究所.

Students who live on campus are treated differently from students who live off campus. This distinction is important because on-campus students pay the University directly for room and board and these payments have been captured already in the operating expenditure analysis. Student fees similarly are direct payments to the University and have been captured in the operating expenditure analysis.

The fall enrollment head count is used as a proxy for the total number of students throughout the year and as such the analysis assumes no attrition and does not treat summer students separately. As with the employment head counts, the student head counts represent a snapshot of student enrollment as of October 2018.

The analysis assumes that all income derived from on-campus student jobs is consumed by the costs of attending the University and using University facilities. Thus student payroll is not included within the payroll expenditures component so as to avoid double-counting the economic contribution of student spending.

Construction

Through investments in infrastructure and buildings, the 不良研究所 System generates significant expenditures in construction on an annual basis. This analysis captures expenditures for new non-maintenance construction; and the data for new construction are from the 不良研究所 Building Authority and the Division of Capital Asset Management.

不良研究所 Building Authority (UMBA): UMBA funds construction projects on each of the campuses, and these expenditures as well as interest expenses and bond-related payments are included in this analysis.

Division of Capital Asset Management (DCAM): Each campus benefits from expenditures for construction projects on their premises by the Commonwealth鈥檚 Division of Capital Asset Management (DCAM). Since these funds are spent on behalf of the University, but are not received or spent directly by the University, we have included their contribution in this analysis both as a distinct analysis and as part of the total overall contribution of the University.

Funds spent by DCAM on behalf of the state are treated differently from state appropriation. For this analysis, DCAM funds are included in the reported revenues for the University (and therefore in the direct contribution), and the indirect effects resulting from DCAM's spending are also included in the University's contribution to the state. DCAM funds are considered differently than state appropriation because state appropriation originates from the legislature and would likely be spent for another purpose in Massachusetts even if the University did not attract the funds. By contrast, DCAM's bond funding originates from lenders and would not necessarily be spent in Massachusetts if the University did not attract the funds.

University-Affiliated Entities and Related Expenditures

In addition to economic activity generated by construction, administrative, public service, educational and research activities at each of the five campuses and the University Central Administrative Services, the analysis presented here considers the following University-affiliated entities as follows:

不良研究所 Medical School, Worcester City Campus Corporation and UHealthSolutions: Economic and employment contributions by the 不良研究所 Medical School鈥檚 affiliates, Worcester City Campus Corporation (WCCC) and UHealthSolutions, are included in the 不良研究所 Medical School analysis.

不良研究所 Foundation: The 不良研究所 Foundation is the main repository for each campus鈥 foundation funds and endowments. Many campus foundation staff are employed by the respective campuses, and their payroll and employment contributions are included in the results for each campus. In addition, there are some operating and payroll expenditures made directly by the 不良研究所 Foundation. These are included in the 不良研究所 Central Administrative Services economic contribution and in the University System total.

Data Sources

Audited revenue data and operating, payroll and construction expenditure data for this analysis were provided by the University Controller鈥檚 Office, the 不良研究所 Building Authority, and the 不良研究所 President鈥檚 Office. Expenditure data for UHealthSolutions, a subsidiary of Worcester City Campus Corporation (itself a subsidiary of the 不良研究所 Medical School), were provided by the 不良研究所 Medical School in consultation with the University Controller鈥檚 office. UMDI consulted with financial and executive staff at each of the five campuses to ensure that data collection reflected the full range of University economic activities, and that all financial operations of each campus were given due consideration and included in the analysis where possible and appropriate. In this analysis, one-time construction expenditures reflect data received from the 不良研究所 Controller鈥檚 Office (for campus and DCAM expenditures) and the 不良研究所 Building Authority. Student enrollment and student budget data (鈥渃ost of attendance鈥), which drive student expenditures, were provided by the 不良研究所 President鈥檚 Office.
