This paper quantifies and compares the direct and indirect effects of labour demand generated by each university location in Lower Saxony. The results are classified in order to identify regional patterns. The applied method is based on three components: the importance, the dynamics and the...

Two elements are being presented in this paper: (1) A new and original method for analyzing matrix dynamics, called the synthetical biproportional projector method (SBP), which can be used to project input-output tables and compare one with another. (2) Some results for France for the important...

The traditional dynamic Leontief model is synchronous: every vertex acts simultaneously. A model with delays of action has been proposed, but it still remains synchronous. In this paper the author proposes an asynchronous version of the model that allows realistic computations. He furnishes an...

The paper discusses qualitative input-output methods. It is shown that information is lost. Because the binary relation constructed by qualitative methods is not transitive, the model lacks economic consistency. Qualitative methods are tending to become more sophisticated, but some problems of...

The method of forecast output coincidence used to determine if sectors are demandsided or supply-sided in an input-output framework mixes two effects, the structural effect (choosing between demand and supply side models) and the effect of an exogenous factor (final demand or added-value). The...

This paper adopts a macroeconomic structural decomposition approach to investigate the sources of economic growth of the PRC, particularly the contributions of the import substitution of the intermediate inputs, the private consumption goods and the investment goods. The latter three are...

We analyze the transmission of producer price inflation shocks across the U.S. manufacturing industries from 1947 to 2018 using the Diebold-Yilmaz Connectedness Index framework, which fully utilizes the information in generalized variance decompositions from vector autoregressions. The results...

Measuring international competitiveness is a highly contested issue in contemporary economics. The emergence of global value chains limits the accuracy of traditional export-based measures and calls for the employment of techniques capable of accounting for value added input of individual...

Many firms operate multiple units that produce and sell similar products and services using similar marketing and operating practices. Although local managers may be exposed to varying local conditions, firms typically attempt to control their operations to assure that their customers experience...
