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,...

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el impacto medioambiental de los hogares en una economía regional, incluyendo, no sólo el impacto directo, sino también el indirectamente generado a través de la producción de los bienes y servicios que demandan. Con este trabajo también se pretende...

Multipliers are routinely used for impact evaluation of private projects and public policies at the national and subnational levels. Oosterhaven and Stelder (2002) correctly pointed out the misuse of standard 'gross' multipliers and proposed the concept of 'net' multiplier as a solution to this...

We combine input–output and bilateral trade data to compute the value added content of bilateral trade. The ratio of value added to gross exports (VAX ratio) is a measure of the intensity of production sharing. Across countries, export composition drives VAX ratios, with exporters of...

We develop hypothetical policy scenarios in this part of the paper which are simulated using a product-by-industry economic-ecological model to investigate their impacts on water and other ecological commodities. Results are expected to contribute to the establishment of alternative policy...

The objective of this paper is to analyse the environmental impacts of a regional economy (Aragon, Spain) by way of its atmospheric emissions. Our starting point is the construction of a Social Accounting Matrix with Environmental Accounts for this region. We calculated environmental indicators...

Se demuestra que todo sistema tipo Leontief (o Leontief-Sraffa) puede ser transformado en uno estructuralmente equivalente en el que la matriz tecnológica A tenga la propiedad de que la suma de los elementos de cada columna sea el autovalor máximo a de A; lo que equivale a transformar las...

Dado un sistema tipo Leontief (o Leontief - Sraffa), se demuestra que puede ser transformado en uno estructuralmente equivalente que denominaremos sistema homogeneizado en el que la matriz tecnológica A así como la inversa de Leontief poseen propiedades matemáticas relevantes relacionadas con...

Following Furtuoso and Guilhoto (2003) the GDP of the Brazilian Agribusiness is estimated to be around 27% of the Brazilian GDP in 2000, and the latest numbers show that it could be reaching 30% of the Brazilian GDP in 2003. Despite its importance for the Brazilian economy as a whole, the size...

This article, using input-output tables, makes an analysis of the structure of production, consumption, and income distribution in the Brazilian economy in 1975 and 1980. The results show that: a) the dynamic in the economy is given by the consumers in the income group between 5 and 20 minimum...
