Macroeconomic Impacts of the University and Industry Cooperation Centre of Győr: Some Methods of Analysis with Input-Output Tables and the SZEconomy-GyőRIO Model

摘要

Győr is one of the locations of the Hungarian higher education system where a University and Industry Cooperation Centre (UICC) is to be established. UICC enables Széchenyi István Uni-versity to operate as a regional hub and an economic catalyst beyond but in close relation with its basic educational and research mission. Supporting suppliers and buyers to intensify their cooperation means catalysing input-output relations along the value chains. Methods based on input-output tables provide an effective toolkit in practice to analyse potential macroeconomic impacts. This study shows some examples of augmenting cross-industry data with individual company information to obtain more precise results. These hybrid techniques are going to be utilized in the SZEconomy portal, which is an important part of the proposed development pro-gramme. SZEconomy is a bunch of interconnected economic models that can help UICC to fulfil its mission offering a forecasting, planning and monitoring system for regional improve-ments. To investigate national level effects updated versions of the official Central Statistical Office input-output table can be used. To quantify local impacts we have developed the regional input-output model of the Győr Industrial Area called GyőRIO. For GyőRIO UICC impact analysis is the first and probably also the primary application in the future.udThe paper unravels as follows: after a short introduction first and second sections discuss the aims and relating features of UICC and SZEconomy in more detail; third section justifies why input-output model is a feasible framework for analysing UICC impacts; fourth to seventh sections show the use of input-output tables for this specific purpose through simplified exam-ples; eighth section concludes and flashes the detailed database and tools for real analyses and the ways for future research and applications.
