Maloney asks how much of the $2 billion impact came from higher prices due to demand rather than additional transactions. Kreamer says the model is an input-output model calibrated to New York City and did consider a bump in lodging prices.

Virginia Maloney

You mentioned higher prices.

Virginia Maloney

I'm curious if you have a sense of how much of that $2.7 billion

Virginia Maloney

Two billion economic impact is from higher prices due to more demand.

Virginia Maloney

For example, I think.

Virginia Maloney

that was true with hotel pricing or additional transactions.

Justin Kreamer

So the model did take into consideration, well, I'll take a step back.

Justin Kreamer

So the model is based off of something that's called a implant input output model.

Justin Kreamer

And that model is a industry agreed upon

Justin Kreamer

model that is calibrated to the New York City market.

Justin Kreamer

And so based off the prices of goods or services, based off the different sectors, and so the report did take consideration a bump in prices for lodging.

Justin Kreamer

I'm happy to follow up with some more information on that.
