Summary This paper is concerned with the formulation of a research design for measuring and evaluating the impact of a federal-provincial regional development program upon the Interlake Area of Manitoba. The evaluation process is approached through a comprehensive system of social accounts formulated after the two-region input-output model. The system of social accounts includes both current and capital accounts for business and government and provides the basis for the development of a dynamic model of the economy. The accounts also have special provisions for relating the development program expenditures to the public and private sectors of the two regions. A dynamic mathematical model is outlined that will simulate the growth of the Interlake Area and province over time as the basis for measuring and evaluating the programs of the development plan. To the extent that the research goal can be accomplished, progress will be made in understanding the impact of alternative development programs, in promoting regional development, and in developing a comprehensive model of regional economic growth.
