This paper is a reply to Oosterhaven's reply of the paper A critical comment on Oosterhaven-Stelder net multipliers written by de Mesnard in this issue of The Annals of Regional Science. It is argued that, unlike Oosterhaven's statement, (1) any coefficient must be stable but Oosterhaven-Stelder...

Most of the comment of de Mesnard applies to a causal interpretation of the net multiplier that is applied to economically impossible exogenous (changes in) total output. This reply shows that this interpretation is incorrect and that his further argumentation is based on a time inconsistent...

Recently, Oosterhaven and Stelder (OS, 2002) have introduced the operational idea of a 'compensated net multiplier' (CNM) to take into account the double counting that occurs when output replaces final demand as an exogenous entry when the Leontief model is used to evaluate operationally the...

The purpose of this work is to verify the existence of possible tradeoffs between policies direct to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) with the ones direct to foster the development of the Brazilian Amazon Region, which is one of the poorest in the country. In order to achieve this...

Scholars have attempted to compile various multi-region input-output (MRIO) tables for different countries. However, due to the city-level data scarcity and methodology constraints, almost no MRIO table covers a large number of cities with more disaggregated sectors in countries with large...

A comprehensive economic impact assessment using input-output methods is developed to account for localized spending activities and distributions of residual earning to member owners by cooperatives. The framework is applied to agricultural supply, service, marketing, farm credit, and rural...

Economic complexity can be defined as the level of interdependence between the component parts of an economy. In input-output systems, intersectoral connectedness is a crucial feature of analysis, and there are many different methods for measuring it. Most of the measures, however, have...

Social Accounting Matrices (SAM) are databases that complete the information provided by the input-output tables. They study the intersectorial relationships of an economy, the behaviour of consumers, the government or the foreign sector, while being able to close the income flow of rent. In...

In this paper attention is directed at the effects of the ageing of the Scottish population. Expenditure patterns vary with the average age of household members Data from Family Spending is used to disaggregate the household column of the Scottish input-output table into three sub-sectors (a)...

Social accounting matrices are an instrument that allow us to enlarge information provided by the input-output analysis when studying the intersectorial relationships of an economy, the behavior of consumers, the public sector or the foreign sector; while being able to complete the income flow...
