This study examines the usefulness of an extended input-output table (EIOT) incorporating the heterogeneity of Japanese firms based on differences in ratios of imported intermediate goods to total output. Using an EIOT, the vertical specialization indicator of Japan was calculated, which...

In this study, a village input-output table (VIOT) is built from household survey data from a rural village in a developing country to capture the interdependency between households through their transactions in 2016. This VIOT is a simple, but useful tool for understanding the economic...

The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) is a Free Trade Area (FTA) regional trade agreement in Africa. Currently, Ethiopia is negotiating to join COMESA FTA. This study assesses the impact of three regional trade arrangements, COMESA FTA, customs unions, and the European...

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...

Supporting ecological innovations and economic activities which lead to environmental protection is one of the important challenges to decision-makers. The above is related to the problem of specification of mechanisms resulting in introducing ecological innovations to the economy. The original...

In this work, we reconsider the dynamics of a few versions of the classical Samuelson’s multiplier-accelerator model for national economy. First we recall that the classical one with constant governmental expenditure, represented by a linear second-order difference equation, is able to...

This paper presents a methodology to integrate cost-benefit analysis and SAM-CGE-based impact evaluation. While the two types of analysis have developed in parallel and without a clear connection, there is growing consensus that the two approaches should be integrated for complex investment...

We use the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) combined with regional sectoral employment data to estimate the potential regional employment effects of interna‑tional trade barriers. We study the case of a no-deal Brexit in which imports to the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU)...

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 paper intends to investigate whether the turning points exist between tax revenue, gross domestic product, government expenditure, and gross domestic saving towards Malaysia's total external debt. The researcher implements the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system model to forecast the...
