(Show Introduction)
	Introduction:
This tool allows you to do an expanded input-output analysis of a complex production process. Instead of only looking at the effects of demand from a single sector, you can consider effects of increased production in several sectors simultaneously. There are two primary applications of this method. Hypothetical products - You can consider the implications of a product that is not currently represented in the input-output model, e.g., a 'recipe' of the requirements needed to build an electronic book reader. These products are similar to laptop computers, but not part of any existing sector production. Improved Analysis of Existing Products - you can perform a more specific analysis of an existing product. For example, instead of just looking at $20,000 of production from the vehicle production sector, you could put together a recipe of similar but different items needed in the supply chain of a hybrid vehicle. This would more closely approximate your product. Please note that you are unlikely to estimate meaningful first-order analyses with only a handful of added sectors. A meaningful result from this tool could potentially require you to add hundreds of sectors of production to simulate a product. You may want to consider using the hybrid modeling tool as well.

	Choose a model:
Your current model is the USEEIO 2012 Producer Model (v2.0.1-411), which is a Producer model. (What does this mean?)
	Add sectors:
Your custom product currently has 0 items. You can add sectors by browsing for them below. Once you have selected a sector, click the "Add Sector" button which will appear below. Please enter the amount of economic activity you want in this sector: Million Dollars
