A multiplier is a way of measuring the interconnectedness of industries and can also be used to describe how important one industry is to other industries within the region. For example, if an industry has a multiplier of 2.5, for every positive or negative change on that industry, the total effect on the regional economy will be 2.5 times the original change.
