Input-output analysts are often confronted with requests for impacts assessments for economic shocks that stretch uncomfortably the assumptions of standard input-output modeling. this paper presents an approach to confronting a subset of these challenges straightforwardly in a way that...

Several procedures for generating interregional commodity flow matrices have been developed in the U.S. in recent years (see, e.g., Canning and Wang in J. Reg. Sci. 45, 539–563, 2005, Jackson et al. in Ann. Reg. Sci. 40, 909–920, 2006, Lindall et al. in J. Reg. Anal. Policy 36, 76–83,...

The current study aims to evaluate the methodology of Input-Output matrices estimation, at basic prices, based on preliminary data from the Brazil’s National Accounts. The same is tested for the year 2005, and the results obtained from input-output matrix (final version), available in IBGE...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the structure of the flower and ornamental plants sector of Brazil and to verify the perspectives of its insertion in the international traded. The last years have seen efforts towards structuring the market, increasing the species and varieties mix,...

The objective of this paper is to analyse the technological change produced in the Spanish economy between 1980 and 1994 using the Input-Output tables of 1980, 1986, 1990 and 1994. Firstly we obtain and compare the linkage components of each block throughout the period. Secondly, using...

Among the many matrix updating techniques available, basic RAS and its extensions are the most popular. RAS is a biproportional adjustment method, consisting in reiterative multiplication of row and column elements of a base matrix by correction coefficients. This technique is almost invariably...

The construction of extended supply and use and input-output tables has been presented as a means of addressing some of the current challenges for the national accounts that are induced by economic globalisation. Such tables take into account within-industry firm heterogeneity that is not...

Many economic models (e.g., computable general equilibrium models, econometric input–output models) revolve around a matrix of technical coefficients. However, these matrices can be estimated only once every 5 years as long as they are calculated from input–output tables and these are only...

In India, the constant price Input-output (I-O) flows receive comparatively less attention. Large data requirements and availability constraints compel users of constant price flows and real technology coefficients to work with only one price deflator namely, output deflator. The deflation...

The energy balance due to embodied energy use may be significant for trade dependent economies. In this paper, authors estimate the balance of embodied energy in India's international trade at aggregate and sector levels. Over time, the composite energy sector (including primary and secondary...
