Description
By Michael H. Shuman & Doug Hoffer:
"A growing body of evidence suggests that the best way to strengthen a community economy is by expanding locally owned businesses serving local markets. By studying leaks of dollars – that is, goods and services being imported that could be produced locally – a community can identify the most promising markets for new or expanded local businesses, and the best private initiatives and public policies to support this kind of economic development."

By Michael H. Shuman & Doug Hoffer:
"Locally owned, import-substituting (LOIS) businesses. Discerning opportunities for LOIS requires an analysis both of dollar leakages (that is, where residents are spending money outside the local economy) and of opportunities for plugging leaks."
