Overall economic growth for each of three Mississippi inland port counties was compared to the aggregate of all non-port counties for the period 1959-1968. The measures selected were total personal income, total earnings, farm earnings, non-farm earnings and manfacturing earnings. The role of each Mississippi inland port in economic growth was analyzed first by comparing the growth rates for Mississippi inland ports to other inland ports on the Mississippi River System during the period 1959-1968; and second, by studying the changes in commodity groups handled by each Mississippi inland port during the study period. An intra-port analysis of each Mississippi inland port provided the basis for concluding that the existence of each port made an important contribution to economic growth. An analysis of the relative contribution of each port in 1968 to its respective regional economy was performed by constructing partial input-output tables for each port county. (WRSIC abstract)
