Economic and social impact of the leather sector in Igualada and the entire Catalonia
Estimate the socio-economic contribution of the leather sector in Igualada, the main center of activity in the sector, in the region of Anoia, as well as in Catalonia as a whole
The methodology that will be used to calculate the economic and social impact will be that of the input-output tables of Catalonia.
The calculation of the total impact will be the sum of the direct impact (result of the direct activity of the companies of the sector), of the indirect impact (effect on other economic sectors through the purchases, supplies and sectorial interrelations ), and of the induced impact (effect on the consumption of the wage incomes obtained by the employees who work in the sector directly and indirectly).
Multipliers will be obtained that will allow us to quantify the economic and social impact of the sector on four variables: turnover, GDP, employment and tax revenue (VAT, I. Companies and Personal Income Tax).
