Abstract
The aim of the paper is to outline demand-driven multiplier mechanisms, the theory behind them, and
applicable quantifi cation methods (aggregate models and incremental methods). The authors discuss a number
of key problems related to multiplier effects as fundamental mechanisms of local and regional development. The
study of the magnitude, industry structure, spatial distribution, and key determinants of those effects can help
understand growth mechanisms in local and regional economies and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages
associated with new, e.g. foreign, investment. Furthermore, the results of earlier empirical studies of the
magnitude, spatial distribution and determinants of multiplier effects are presented together with the outcomes
of the authors’ own study.
