Report shows $91.4
million impact of
Dickinson
DICKINSON - Dickinson State
University (DSU) brings $91.4 mil-
lion and over 450 jobs to the region,
according to a recently compiled
study of the economic impacts of
the North Dakota University Sys-
tem.
The study was conducted by
Randal Coon, Dean Bangsund and
Nancy Hodur of North Dakota State
University's Department of
Agribusiness and Applied Econom-
ics and Center for Social Research.
According to the study's find-
ings, DSU expenditures injected
$30.1 million into the local econ-
omy in fiscal year 2015, reflecting
a 102 percent increase over the past
16 years. In addition, those expen-
ditures created a ripple effect, or se-
ries of indirect impacts, which
brought DSU's total economic im-
pact within the region's economy to
$91.4 million.
Sectors receiving impacts from
the university's presence included
household income, retail trade, con-
struction, finance, insurance and real
estate, and business and personal
services. Researchers estimated that
approximately 205 secondary jobs
are supported within the community
by the university's expenditures and
by the services required to sustain
the increased population. These po-
sitions are in addition to the 249 per-
sons employed by the university
during fiscal year 2015.
Retail sales also benefited with a
$21.7 million impact. That figure,
too, represented a sizable increase
over the $10.7 million reported in
the 1999 study. Student expendi-
tures play a key role in the retail
market of the region. According to
Christopher Meek, director of Fi-
nancial Aid at DSU, the average stu-
dent spends $3,400 on "personal

items" during the nine months uni-
versity classes are in session. Those
expenditures include clothing, gaso-
line, entertainment and other mis-
cellaneous expenses. Direct impact
of student spending in the Dickin-
son area was $12.3 million in fiscal
year 2015. Student spending was es-
timated to generate an additional
$639,000 in sales and use tax rev-
enue and $111,000 in personal in-
come tax collections.
Statewide, the study estimates
that the North Dakota University
System has a $1.6 billion direct im-
pact on the state's economy. These
expenditures resulted in increased
total business activity of $4.6 billion.
Expenditures having no impact
on the state's economy - such as
out-of-state purchases of equipment
- were not included in the study.
The resulting direct impact amounts
were then multiplied by established
coefficients or multipliers to arrive
at the indirect impacts for each cam-
pus region and the university system
as a whole.
