Based on the World Input-Output Matrix 2016 estimated by Timmer et al. (2016), the Hypothetical Extraction Method is applied in a multi-country context to estimate Mexico's gross output and value added linked to the economic activity of the United States; and then the gross output and value...

Today it is generally accepted that innovation, knowledge creation, and the diffusion of new knowledge are crucial factors for economic growth at the regional, national, as well as supra-national level, and that successful innovation is increasingly based on interactions and collaborative...

In case of a natural catastrophe there is an increased demand for skilled labor and materials which in turn leads to significant price increases that should be taken into account in the forecast of catastrophe losses. Such price effects are referred to as "Demand Surge" effects. The paper at...

This paper develops a multi-sector innovation model and derives a theoretical and empirical framework for an innovation version of the input-output matrix. Using industry-level total factor productivity data, we estimate innovation input-output matrices and examine the properties of innovation...

Today, the interest in the old industrial complex's regeneration project is heightened. That's because the existing industrial complex leading Korea's growth period has declined by external factor including economic recession and industrial structure change and because the need of regeneration...

This paper illustrates the effect of employment in the tradable sector on employment in the non-tradable sector in the same city with a simple model.
