Some of the reported outcomes concerning the
economic impact of the brewing sector are based
on estimates. These estimates derived from a model
constructed by Ernst & Young and Regioplan Policy
Research.
We illustrate here how these variables have been
estimated, focusing on :
Employment effects.
Value-added due to the production and sale of beer.
Government revenues due to the production and sale
of beer.
Employment effects
The
direct employment
effect signifes the number
of people employed in the brewing sector. The data on
direct employment was obtained from the questionnaire
for the beer producers.
The
indirect employment
effect concerns the
employment generated in the supply sectors due
to the production and sale of beer. The starting point
of the estimates on indirect employment is the impulse
in supply sectors resulting from purchases made by
the brewing sector.
