The contribution of broad sectors to regional income provides another way of presenting
the winners and losers from the resources boom in the domestic economy. In the case of
Urban_SA, more than the entire loss of income (-0.67 percent) is attributed to losses in
TCFs (-0.10 percent) and other manufactures (-0.78 percent). Among the industries
losing from rising import competition is the motor vehicles sector, which is relatively
prominent in the Urban_SA economy. Other manufactures dominates the losing sectors
in most regions, but in the minerals regions, these losses are overwhelmed by gains in
resources. Urban_SA, as shown in table 3, loses from the minerals shocks (as labour is
drawn to minerals regions); from the imported energy shocks (which impact negatively
on all regions); and from the other import price shocks (which harm import-competing
sectors, although lowering prices for households). The only group of shocks benefiting
Urban_SA is farm and food export prices.

For the biggest winner, Mineral_WA, the contribution to GRP growth from mining is 3.9
percent (Table 5), reflecting both the magnitude of price shocks and the share of mining
in Mineral_WA’s economy: mining’s value-added is $11.8 billion out of total regional
value-added of $28.5 billion (Table 2). One curious result in the minerals regions is that
the services sector makes a larger negative contribution to GRP than in other regions.
This is because despite services being relatively income-elastic, and therefore in
increased demand as income grows, the prices of labour-intensive services also rise with
wages. Therefore, they will suffer larger cost increases than services in non-booming
regions in which real wages are not rising—so users will source more of their services
from cheaper, neighbouring regions. In the case of Mineral_WA, the negative
