20 Using Commodity Flow Survey Microdata and Other establishment Data to estimate the Generation of Freight, Freight trips, and Service trips • Economic-based. Instead of using variables like square footage that do not measure the intensity of the activity performed at the establishment, the models use employment, which correctly measures the intensity of the use of space, which leads to better forecasts of FSA.
