In this paper a framework is developed for analyzing trade-off possibilities among urban outcomes resulting from public-funded community development activities. The purpose is to identify complementarities and substitutions which exist among public service outputs (outcomes), thereby allowing a...

This paper introduces an accounting linkage designed to relate the demand for labor -- generated via an open input - output Leontief-type model -- to labor markets described by cohort-activity characteristics of population distributions. This linkage is shown to provide access to an articulated...

This paper develops an iterative method for computing Leontief multipliers for use in analyses of systems of national accounts. The algorithm entails a finite number of iterations using the row and column structure of the production accounts. It is particularly suitable for evaluating the...

This paper extends the Garin - Lowry model of spatial activity allocations along its demographic dimension. The zonal distribution of activities in the nonbasic (service) sector is shown to be stable irrespective of variations in the zonal distribution of activities in the basic (export) sector....

This paper develops a multiplier interpretation and analysis for the accounting linkage of demographic and economic variables recently proposed in Schinnar (1976a). The various components of the model are illustrated with an application to the system of Hungarian accounts of 1960 - 1961. This...

This paper introduces a stochastic model useful for the evaluation of building performance or decay. The model is especially structured to allow prediction of the value of alternative adaptation during a building's lifetime. It is designed for conditions in which only scanty data on building...
