The causative-matrix method to analyze temporal change assumes that a matrix transforms one Markovian transition matrix into another by a left multiplication of the first matrix; the method is demand-driven when applied to input-output economics. An extension is presented without assuming the...

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...

This research note demonstrates the advantage of biproportional projection over the ordinary (proportional) method of technical coefficients in input-output analysis: the former is insensitive to price changes, the latter is not so. Consequently, structural change can generally be measured using...

Net multipliers, as introduced by Oosterhaven and Stelder (2002) accept outputs as entries instead of final demand. They are found by multiplying ordinary multipliers by the final demand ratio over the sector's output. This pragmatic solution suffers from ratio instability over time. The...

The Make-Use Model serves as a basis for most national accounting systems as the System of National Accounts (SNA) and is acknowledged as the most suitable model for interregional analysis. Two hypotheses are traditionally made featuring either industry-based technologies (IBT) or...

An example in Miernyk (1977) presented a rather counterintuitive result, namely, that introducing accurate exogenous information into an RAS matrix estimating procedure could lead to an estimate that was worse than one generated by RAS using no exogenous information at all. This became an...

The method of forecast output coincidence used to determine if sectors are demandsided or supply-sided in an input-output framework mixes two effects, the structural effect (choosing between demand and supply side models) and the effect of an exogenous factor (final demand or added-value). The...

[eng] Input-output matrices and structural analysis are applied to the analysis and forecast of consequences of offensive actions in the case of multiproduct multimarket large firms. [fre] Les matrices entrées-sorties et l'analyse structurale sont appliquées à l'analyse et à la prévision...

[fre] On répond ici aux partisans du rejet du modèle d'offre dominante en analyse input-output et en particulier à A. Torre (Revue économique, 5 (44), p. 951-970). Tout d'abord les hypothèses de demande dominante (Leontief) et d'offre domi­nante (Ghosh) sont symétriques et incompatibles,...
