NOVEL APPROACH DEVELOPED FOR CREATING REGIONAL INPUT-OUTPUT TABLES

摘要

Input-output tables are a statistical summary of the flow of industry inputs into production and the subsequent use of the outputs of that production. Tables can be produced at both a national and regional level. National input-output tables are used to give greater granularity to the national accounts by providing an understanding of the technology of production. Regional input-output tables are about regional variation in that technology and about providing an understanding of the role of inter-regional trade in an economy. With regional tables the focus is on the technology of production and on trade.
