The goal of this paper is to present a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) of the Spanish economy for 1995, following the trend to expand Input-Output Tables into a SAM, as SEC95 suggests. We have used available data from the National Income and Product Accounts, the latest Input-Output Table with a...

This paper presents two versions of an applied general equilibrium model for the regional economy of Andalusia, Spain, that differ in the Public Sector behavior. We intend to exemplify the use of a model with these characteristics to analyze the impact that the reform of the personal income tax...

Social accounting matrices are an instrument that allow us to enlarge information provided by the input-output analysis when studying the intersectorial relationships of an economy, the behavior of consumers, the public sector or the foreign sector; while being able to complete the income flow...

According to the National Accounting Systems proposed by United Nations (1993) and Eurostat (1996), use and make (or supply) matrices should be measured before goods and services are conveyed to the markets (basic values). Actually, the make table is defined in basic values (excluding trade and...

The main objective of this paper is to determine how prices may change when some components of the cost structure concerning activity branches are modified. In doing so, an input-output price model is implemented to analyse the regional economy of Extremadura. This methodology allows us to...

In the literature, the construction of technical coefficients is linked to flow data (use and make matrices), but stochastics are imposed on the coefficients when multipliers are calculated, by means of the Leontief inverse. Due the nonlinearity of this operation, the multiplier estimates are...

The aim of this paper is to compare the linear multipliers corresponding to the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) framework. Specifically, the differences between two matrices of multipliers are divided into two separate components. The first one shows the differences in the structural...

Kop Jansen and ten Raa (1990) established a purely theoretical solution to the problem of selecting a model for the construction of coefficients on the basis of make and use tables. In an axiomatic context, they singled out the so-called commodity technology model as the best one according to...

The main models to construct technical coefficients are the industry technology model and the commodity technology model. The former yields nonnegative coefficients and the latter fulfills nice theoretical properties, such as price invariance. Although the models are very different, this paper...

El Protocolo de Kyoto obligará a los países firmantes a limitar sus emisiones de efecto invernadero. Existe una considerable preocupación sobre el impacto que este tratado pueda ocasionar en la economía en general y en la competitividad de algunos de sus sectores en particular. El objetivo...
