abstract = {The goal of this report is to aid state policymakers and the public in better understanding the structure and various economic contributions of Oklahoma’s aggregate producing industry. Aggregate materials, which include primarily limestone, granite, and sand and gravel, are widely used but not highly visible to the public. The economic role played by the aggregate industry in the state economy also remains largely unknown and has received little study from an economic perspective.
In evaluating the economic role of the Oklahoma aggregate industry, the analysis in the report is structured around answering six core questions:
1. What is the state’s aggregate industry and how is it structured?
2. What types and quantities of aggregate materials are produced in Oklahoma?
3. How large is the industry, who are the key participants, and where is it located?
4. What are the direct economic contributions of the industry to the state and to local economies?
5. What spillover economic effects are generated by the operations of the industry?
6. What are the tax contributions produced by the aggregate industry?},
