Population projections (2004-2026) by five-year age group and sex were developed for Alberta and the 19 Census Divisions using three standard growth scenarios (Low, Medium and High). A detailed medium projection series by single years of age and sex for the Census Divisions and the Province is also provided along with a document of Highlights, Methodology, Assumptions and Appendices.

The Alberta Population Projections (2004-2026) are available in an electronic media format (CD ROM) to give users great flexibility in utilizing these data through Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. This type of release will allow users to incorporate projection results into custom applications. Other contents (e.g. Methodology and Assumptions) are presented in the Adobe Acrobat Reader format.

Alberta Economic Multipliers, 2002 **
- UPDATED

Alberta Finance, Statistics maintains a highly disaggregated Input-Output Model for 2002 which covers 114 industries and 477 commodities. The model may be used to simulate directly both open and closed economic impacts. The Alberta I/O Model industry and commodity structure can be customized to client specifications to make it more descriptive of changing economic conditions. The Alberta I/O Model has a Tax Module that provides impacts on Federal, Provincial and Local Tax Revenues for all impact studies.

The Alberta I/O Model also has a separate Price Module that helps analyze the effects of changes in prices throughout the economy. The Price Module provides impacts on the business, government and household sectors by using cost-push assumptions. The Price Module can be used to simulate the impact on prices in the economy of a change in a price for a commodity or the selling price of an industry. This module is run independantly from the I/O Model.

Runs using the Alberta I/O Model and Price Module are done on a cost recovery basis. Cost is negotiated based on complexity of the simulation(s).  [Ordering information]
