ROBERTS D. and THOMSON K. J. (2003) Sources of structural change in peripheral rural areas: the case of the Western Isles, 1988/89 to 1997 , Reg. Studies 37 , 61-70. The paper considers the sources of structural change in peripheral rural areas, arguing that a greater understanding of sources of...

Service industries play a core role in advanced economies, both from a quantitative a strategic point of view. Traditionally, productivity has been introduced as explaining factor of tertiarization processes in developed economies, while it has been simultaneously assessed that services display...

Environmental Kuznets Curves have been estimated using a simple econometric model that hampers interpretation of the various determinants underlying the inverted-U-shaped relationship between some pollutants and income. Explanations for the observed patterns have been offered ex-post without...

The disaggregated structure of input-output (IO) analysis makes it very attractive in analyzing technical change. Various authors have applied IO models in comparative static experiments to measure the effects of observed technical changes in individual industries on economy-wide total output...

This study attempts to re-investigate the production structure change for the Malaysian economy through changes in the A and (I−A)−1 matrices over the period 1980–2005, when the planners formulated and implemented nine plans so far. Five input–output tables were published by the...

This paper aims at exploring the influence that the changes in sectoral composition in most EU economies have had on aggregate energy intensity. We rely on the so-called Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method, implemented within a multiplicative energy intensity approach. Then, based on...

There have been a variety of studies investigating the relative importance of structural change and real intensity change to the change in China’s energy consumption in the 1980s. However, no detailed analysis to date has been done to examine whether or not the increased energy efficiency...
