Extract

Economic base studies are an accepted economic tool for regional economic analysis. The economic base concept was first set forth as early as 1928 in a regional study of New York City. The economic base concept gained maturity through the work of Homer Hoyt in the 1930's. The first complete statement of the theory of economic base is contained in a text written by Weiner and Hoyt.
