This brief note draws further attention to cross-hauling in regional input-output table estimation, and specifically identifies conceptual issues associated with Kronenberg?s CHARM method for adjusting input-output regionalization methods. Despite the shortcomings of the CHARM approach as it now...

A suitable methodological proposal for getting sectorial clusters is determined in this paper. This proposal is based on the Graphs Theory, which as long as it simplifies the relations between the sectors, it lets us to take out the underlying economical structure and, therefore it makes to...

Although the literature has provided steps in the right direction, conceptual shortcomings still exist in the cross-hauling adjustment methods that are currently being applied in the literature. This paper represents an attempt to 1) characterize the cross-hauling adjustment methods that exist...

This paper re-examines the Finnish evidence presented by Lehtonen and Tykkyläinen on the use of location quotients (LQs) in estimating regional input coefficients and multipliers. They argue that the choice of an LQ-based method is a gamble and that there is no single method that can be...

Social accounting matrices (SAM)are an instrument that enlarges the information provided by the input-output analysis.These matrices study the intersectoral relationships of an economy,the behaviour of the consumers,the public sector or the foreign sector,as long as they complete the income flow...

Since the initial input-output models conceived by Leontief in the 1930s, the input-output theory has gone through a lot of development at the theoretical as well as applied point of view. However, despite all the progress, there is still one point that needs further consideration into the...

The main goal of this paper is to present a recent Social Accounting Matrix for the region of Andalusia (SAMAND95). Using a variety of available data, such as the Regional Income and Product Accounts, the 1995 Input-Output Table for Andalusia, as well as some national level data, we have...

Input-output (I-O) tables provide a snapshot of an economy, with details on i) intersectoral exchange of intermediate inputs, ii) components of final demand for sectoral outputs, and iii) components of sectoral value added and production. The tables are generally prepared by national statistics...

With strong economic growth, China’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions grow quickly. The energy shortage and environmental problem have become the bottleneck of further economic growth. The most popular method to estimate the environmental impact is the Environmental input-output analysis,...
