* From [[Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development"]]: [[Staple theory]] is around diversification of an export base. Its [[backward linkages]] measure dependencies in the region - a restaurant purchasing local food and labour. [[Forward linkages]] measure output sold to other regional sectors. [[Demand linkage]] is a measure of how much investment in regional industry produces goods for consumption, investment or government purhcase by the export sector. [[clarify]] [[Leakage]] measures income flows leaving a community, for example through migratory workers, external input purchases, or externally owned enterprises. Linkages are multiplied by domestic production, and [[supply side]] expansion in labour, capital, entrepeneurship, and complementary input (eg technology).
