This paper presents the first detailed and holistic description of the European production network (EPN) and provides different rankings of the most 'systemically important' industries involved in Brexit. Employing techniques of complex networks analysis and Input-Output traditional tools, the...

In 2018 the output dynamics of the manufacturing industries were close to zero. Growth was observed in the primary sector mainly on the back of a surge in production of natural gas and coal. In manufacturing, positive growth rates were related either with a favorable global market environment or...

We develop a network trade model with country-sector level input-output linkages. It includes (1) domestic and global value chain linkages between all country-sectors, (2) direct as well as indirect shipments (via other sectors and countries) to a final destination, (3) value added rather than...

Trade in cultural goods and services is one of the least understood areas in commerce. Yet another hugely important but under-scrutinized area is that of Trade in Value Added. Indeed, as former World Trade Organization Director-General Pascal Lamy said, such statements as “Made in China” do...

Over the past decade, large-scale multi-regional input–output (MRIO) tables have advanced the knowledge about pressing global issues. At the same time, the data reconciliation strategies required to construct such MRIOs have vastly increased in complexity: large-scale MRIOs are more detailed...

Literature on the choice of model for deriving an input–output table (IOT) from a pair of supply–use tables (SUTs) has focused on the consequences for the IOT and the Leontief inverse. Analyzing the technology and fixed sales structure transformation models and their applications involving...

Projections show sharp increases in public spending on long-term care services across Europe. However, a purely cost based focus on long-term care services is economically misleading. Private and public expenditure on long-term care services directly and indirectly generate income in the form of...
