It is hard to think about the contributions of Michael Sonis to Input-Output Analysis without taking into consideration his joint work with Geoffrey Hewings. Both are linked together into a type n, n → ∞, multiplier of theory and knowledge. This paper makes a brief presentation of the...

This study presents the output, gross value added and employment multipliers for the Greek economy based on the most recent Input-Output tables of 2015, which were compiled according to the European System of Accounts (ESA) 2010. The analysis utilises the Leontief model, in both the “open”...

The objective of this paper is to identify Australia's high employment generating industries. It attempts to do this by using the 1996-97 input-output table. The direct and indirect contribution of the tradeable industries to employment are quantified by adopting the 'loss of the industry' or...

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the controversies surrounding capital theory. At the heart of these debates are the empirically observed near-linearities in the price-rate of profit and wage rate of profit curves. This article posits that these near-linearities can be...

We assess the sectoral impact of the implementation of a "green" employer of last resort (ELR) program in the US, based on an environmental modification of an extended Kurz's (1985) multiplier framework and data from OECD Input-Output tables. We use these multipliers to estimate the impact of an...

Input-output analysis has been widely used in different scenarios, because it is easy to implement and interpret. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the build of input-output coefficients should be done with caution, especially in case exists secondary production in sectors, since this...

The Input-Output model (IO) is an important tool of economic analysis, providing a predictive analysis framework for economic changes, if properly used. In developing measures, strategies, etc. at macro level it is important to identify the links that occur between branches of the economy for a...

The use of input-output analysis for the computation of secondary effects of final demand changes is well-known. These 'final demand effects' can be calculated using technical coefficients and the inverse of the Leontief matrix. This paper offers an alternative to the use of technical...

Kop Jansen and ten Raa (1990) established a purely theoretical solution to the problem of selecting a model for the construction of coefficients on the basis of make and use tables. In an axiomatic context, they singled out the so-called commodity technology model as the best one according to...

The main models to construct technical coefficients are the industry technology model and the commodity technology model. The former yields nonnegative coefficients and the latter fulfills nice theoretical properties, such as price invariance. Although the models are very different, this paper...
