Project Information
The project involved the calculation of Output and Income multiplier effects of the large ($1.5 billion) oil investment by EXXON in Chad. Staff and consultants carried out calculations of the direct effects of both the Construction and Operational phases of the project. These were used as inputs into a variety of multiplier effect calculations to asses the further production and income effects of the project. Narrative discussion was also provided of further macroeconomic and structural effects that the project is likely to cause beyond those amenable to formal quantification.
