In this paper, we adopt the viewpoint that not only the size of sectoral linkages is relevant but also the economic distance between sectors. To measure distance, we define the average propagation length as the average number of steps it takes an exogenous change in one sector to affect the...

En las últimas décadas, la modelización de equilibrio general aplicado se ha convertido en un área muy fructífera de investigación económica. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar las contribuciones de equilibrio general que han sido aplicadas a la economía española. Haremos una...

The main purpose of this paper is to develop a new kind of input-output multiplier that would be particularly well suited to quantifying the impacts of final demand changes on the sectoral output growth potential of an economy. Instead of using the traditional output multipliers, solving an...

El presente trabajo trata de evaluar los posibles efectos que, sobre diferentes agregados macroeconómicos, hogares, actividad productiva y precios, tendría una reducción de las cuotas empresariales a la Seguridad Social para una economía regional, concretamente la andaluza, adecuándolas a...

Some methods of qualitative structural analysis, as MFA, are based on the analysis of layers (flow matrices generated at each iteration when the equilibrium of an input-output model is computed). MFA mixes the analysis of the pure structure of production (the technical coefficients) and of the...

The properties of Boolean methods of structural analysis are used to analyze the intern structure of linear or non linear models. Here they are studied on the particular example of qualitative methods of input-output analysis. First, it is shown that these methods generate informational problems...

Cole (1989, 1997, 1999) advocates the introduction of expenditure lags and the fullest possible closure of single-region input-output models. Jackson et al. (1997, 1999) claim that closing also with regard to the Rest-of-the-World leads to inconsistencies and zero exogenous demand, which makes...

In light of growing intermediate goods trade, Johnson and Noguera (2012) developed theoretical and empirical research on the new concept of trade in value added in place of gross trade. However, they did not deal with the relationship between the new value added trade balance and the gross trade...

This paper amends Kuboniwa (2014). We present a proof of a fundamental theorem on the relationship between trade balances in value added and gross terms in a general model with many countries and many sectors: the total sum of a country’s trade balances with all other countries measured in...

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar las contribuciones a la modelización del equilibrio general que han sido aplicadas a economías regionales. Se comienza con una descripción de las Matrices de Contabilidad Social construi¬das para las distintas regiones, para a continuación exponer...
