For the analysis of economic interdependences form an environmental perspective, a condensation of the information contained in input-output (IO) tables is desirable, but without much loss of the quantitative dimension. For the case of total energy requirements, main contributions identification...

We apply to the Senegalese input-output matrix of 1990, disaggregated into formal and informal activities, a recently designed structural analytical method (Minimal-Flow-Analysis) which permits to depict the direct and indirect production linkages existing between activities. Our results show...

The paper introduces an alternative method to determine "sensitivity' within an input-output-context and makes the most sensitive connections visible in an overall graph. The method called ECA (Elasticity Coefficient Analysis) tries—like the Important Coefficient Analysis (ICA)—to derive...

The paper shows how, and under what minimal information supply conditions, a market finds its competitive equilibrium price and thus solves the so-called tatonnement process, without sellers and buyers knowing the equilibrium price in advance. The information premises must be understood as a...
