The theory of ecologically unequal exchange (EUE) suggests that there exists an asymmetric transfer of biophysical resources from the periphery to the core. Despite ample evidence demonstrating this fact, the theory fails to account for the complex role of the semi-periphery, or how global...

We estimate potential regional industrial effects in case of a threatening gas deficit. For Germany, the reduction leads to a potential decrease in industrial value added by 1.6%. The heterogeneity across German states is remarkable, ranging from 2.2% for Rhineland-Palatinate to 0.7% for...

Network linkage is important in evaluating macroeconomic performance since input‒output networks across industries are asymmetric and respond differently to external shocks. While most studies implicitly assume elastic substitution between intermediates and factors using Cobb‒Douglas models,...

South Korea's Seoul metropolitan area accounts for more than half of the country's GDP and population. This phenomenon is exacerbating annually. Regions outside the metropolitan area of Korea are not only decreasing in terms of economic size, but are also becoming more dependent on the...

The use of location quotients for the estimation of regional input-output tables has been found to be a useful and efficient tool to estimate intraregional production coefficients and multipliers. This paper considers some regionalisation methodologies based on location quotients for the...

In the globalization era, many products in the tourism industry are imported from other economies; whereas other products may be exported as intermediates to other economies. Researchers have assessed the economic impact of tourism for more than 40 years, but have shed little light on the...

This study aims to investigate the contribution of visitors' expenditure to Tokyo Metropolitan's economy including its decomposition, the interregional repercussion effect between Tokyo and the rest of Japan, and the intersectoral propagation activities between tourism and the other sector in...

The Kumamoto earthquake which occurred in April 2016 measured twice the maximum seismic intensity of 7, causing serious damage to the Kumamoto Prefecture. This study mainly focuses on the demand side of expenditures, estimating the monthly expenditures for 1 year before and after the earthquake....

This study aims to assess the nature and the magnitude of the productive links of consumer operations made possible by the revenue generated by ride-hailing. We seek to map the interdependencies established between the consumption decisions of drivers that use the 99 app, a leading e-hailing...

Italy joined the so-called "Industry 4.0" European framework in 2016, which designed and approved a national plan to regulate this key issue for regional development. To better support such a framework, the present study attempts to quantify the contribution of the Italian regions to the output...

Introduction -- Construction of Interregional Input-Output Tables in Japan -- Structure of Regional Input-Output Tables in Japan -- Comparison of Prefectural Input-Output Tables in Japan -- Construction of the Multi-prefectural Input-Output Table -- Estimating Interregional Trade by the...

In Japan, the manufacturing has become geographically dispersed in the 1990s, when the import share has risen after the historic exchange rate appreciation. As is consistent with the interpretation that import penetration undermines regional input-output linkages, our regressions detect the...

The capacity of multi-regional input-output tables (MRIOTs) to investigate linkages across structures and subnational regions within a country makes them a useful and solid tool of various types of simulations. This study develops MRIOTs for the Polish regions that can be subsequently employed...

Although the input-output model has been widely used for both pure economic analysis and environmental issues, demographic analysis has been relegated to the periphery of the input-output literature. Previous researchers have made significant contributions in developing the economic-demographic...

This paper proposes a new approach to the regionalization of national input–output tables where suitable regional data are scarce and analysts are considering using location quotients (LQs). We focus on the FLQ formula, which frequently yields the best results of the pure LQ-based methods, and...

This article seeks to verify the extent to which the formulation of two-dimensional location quotients (2D-LQ) entails a methodological advance in building or generating economic accounts related to sub-territories drawing from basic information. The input-output tables of the Euro Area 19 for...
