Ciobanu C., Mattas K. and Psaltopoulos D. (2004) Structural changes in less developed areas: an input- output framework, Regional Studies38, 603-614. This paper uses an input-output framework to investigate structural changes within a time span of 17 years in the regional economy of East...

This paper develops a consistent framework to detect regional clusters of interrelated economic activity, and to evaluate both the regional and the national economic significance of individual sectors and regions. By using bi-regional input-output data it appears to be possible to distinguish...

Tohmo T. (2004) New developments in the use of location quotients to estimate regional input-output coefficients and multipliers, Reg. Studies 38, 43-54. This study compares the survey-based regional input-output coefficients and production multipliers published by Statistics Finland, 2000, with...

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...

The development of European technology platforms is a valuable building block of European science and technology policy. Out of the range of technology platforms, seven technology fields were chosen and investigated for their potential impacts on selected economies of the European Union. The...

The current globalisation process is characterized by the emergence of global value chains. That is, production processes are becoming increasingly geographically fragmented. Not only are final goods traded internationally, but in particular, trade in intermediate goods and services has...

In this paper, we investigate the structure and evolution of customer-supplier networks in Japan using a unique dataset that contains information on customer and supplier linkages for more than 500,000 incorporated non-financial firms for the five years from 2008 to 2012. We find, first, that...

A hornet's nest could be an apt simile for fossil fuel prices in India. Over years a policy maze has evolved around it, with sharply diverging influence on disparate constituencies. We estimate the increase in total cost of farming as a multiple of direct input costs of fossil fuels in farming....

The transport equipment industry is nowadays amongst the most important manufacturing industries, responsible for a large share of production, exports and R&D in Central and Eastern European countries, particularly the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. This success is due to the fact that...
