It is tempting to distribute state-level impacts to congressional districts. Unfortunately, doing so would require assumptions that cannot be proven right and might well be proven wrong. For example, it is technically possible to allocate GA’s economic contribution based on each congressional district’s share of state employment in a particular industry. The problem is that many industries (such as aircraft manufacturing) have economies of scale that lead to concentrations of employment.
