This article employs two alternative approaches based on input-output tables to re-evaluate key Australian industries and their interconnections. The first approach utilizes traditional linkages, while the second approach employs machine learning methods. Data come from the OECD database for...

We examine changes in the manufacturing sector value chains of the EU, US, China, and India between 2018 and 2023 by introducing three metrics for supply-chain vulnerability. For our first metric, the physical length of a supply chain based on the distance between the producer of the final...

Strategic autonomy can be bolstered by applying circularity strategies such as reducing primary inputs and recycling critical raw materials in key technologies. However, effective actions require high definition at the material or technology level, leading to a non-systematic and often tedious...

Purpose The main goal of this paper is to examine the evolution of Latin American productive integration in terms of the regional value added incorporated in intra-regional exports of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. In addition, the study traces the trade and productive...

We constructed an interregional input-output system for the tourist regions of Sergipe and identified the contribution of Tourism Characteristic Activities (TCAs) to the state's economy. It is the first system built for tourist regions in Brazil that disaggregates tourism activities by sector...

The investigation into the employment-generating capacity of industries has captured the interest of numerous scholars on a global scale. However, there is a paucity of literature on the impact of the capacity underutilization of dairy processing plants (DPPs) on employment multipliers. This...

Using structural impact analysis, this paper investigates the economic implications of road transport infrastructure investments on the Latin American Integration Route (LAIR) in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Brazil. We aim to determine whether these investments can drive short-term...

This study develops a hydroeconomic input-output (IO) model to evaluate the pressures that economic activities exert on water resources. For a better understanding of the sectoral and total impacts, three innovations are incorporated with respect to previous literature: i) the development of a...

We examine recent changes in the structure of Chinese manufacturing value chains using a standard input-output framework. Our results suggest that the previous increasing trend in the share of domestic value added in Chinese value chains stalled during our observation period (2018-2022). We also...

This paper aims to approach the topic of structural convergence for new member states from the perspective of input-output analysis. Using a set of input-output measures, based on the OECD RStan database, and a number of unit-root tests, both for individual time series and panel data, this paper...

The share of private consumption has long been small in the Chinese GDP. The share started to increase in the past decade, but the trend reversed with the covid-19 pandemic. Now as the Chinese economy reopens and recovers from covid restrictions, the share of consumption could return to a...

Focusing on labour requirements incorporated into GVCs, in the following, we develop a novel, non conventional measure of learning capabilities, represented by knowledge embodied along the division of labour within global production networks. In order to capture the division of labour, and the...

The return of persistent inflation in OECD countries has been the most significant macroeconomic phenomenon in recent years. This article analyses different explanations for the current inflationary dynamics, from which various policy recommendations arise. Specifically, by using a...

This paper aims to verify the long run structural changes in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in Brazil which presents the particularity of high emissions in the agriculture and livestock sectors, and low emissions in energy sectors. We use an additive Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA) to...

China's renewable energy consumption was 6.37 EJ in 2018, making it the world's largest renewable energy consumer. Exploring the economic and social driving factors behind the dynamic evolution of renewable energy consumption in China not only serve China better development of renewable energy,...

How does Italy position inside the European structure of trade relationships? How labour bilateral flows have changed over time? Which type of employment activity has been outsourced? Which insourced? Focusing on a three-country perspective, what are the employment bilateral relationships...

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the supply and demand side of structural transformation in Turkey. Using the GGDC/UNU-WIDER Economic Transformation Database, we find that labour productivity improvements explain more than half of economic growth in the period 1980-2021. This is...

The global COVID-19 pandemic has suppressed the economy and people's welfare, including in Indonesia and Central Java Province, as indicated by the weakening of the national economy by −2.06 percent and locally by −2.65 percent in 2020. Although the economy grew by 3.32 percent in 2021,...

Wassily Leontief met with decades of success for the development of input-output analysis, and yet he remained a staunch critic of the economics profession throughout his life. To understand his success, its limits, and the origins of his discontent, I separate the scientific activities of...

Brazilian agriculture, despite notable growth in recent years and having been responsible for a significant portion of trade surpluses, presents strong spatial heterogeneity. This paper analyzes Brazilian agriculture spatially and structurally, differentiating between permanent and temporary...

We evaluate license agreements as a form of technology transfer that constitutes a public-private partnership (PPP) with the primary goal of economic development. These license agreements permit entrepreneurs and other businesses to turn government innovations into earnings. We constructed a...

In this paper, we compare the economic and welfare implications of two carbon pricing policies, namely the European Cap and Trade (CaT) regime and the Chinese Tradeable Performance Standard (TPS). The former sets an economy-wide emissions target and forces firms to purchase sufficient...

The interest in clusters in the economy and regional space, which has persisted for nearly three decades, has reignited the understanding of the economy as a system of interdependencies between industries. Although the concept of clusters can be traced back to contributions dating from the early...

Measuring the contributions of the bioeconomy depends on the concept and method used. The concept of bioeconomy linked to biomass is widely used, and estimating the bio-based share in sectors, activities, or products is a limitation and a challenge. Therefore, the present study aims to propose a...

In light of recent pronouncements of tariff hikes in the United States (US) and the retaliatory responses of major economies such as China, Canada, and Mexico, this paper revisits the global value chains (GVC) experience of the Philippines amid the trade tensions between China and the US from...
