The identification and interpretation of regional economic structure is addressed by reference to a four region, three sector interregional input-output table for the US for 1982. Using the transactions matrix, a succession of self-influence feedback loops are identified, first at the...

A new triple LDU-factorization (L represents a lower-triangular block matrix, D represents the diagonal block matrix and U represents an upper-triangular block matrix) of the Leontief inverse is based on the Schur block-inversion of matrices. This factorization is applied to the decomposition of...

In this paper, the behavior of the simple logistic map, May (1976), in the real space (R) is analyzed. Interest in the global behavior of the map, and in particular when the environmental parameter and the state variable obtain negative values, is warranted because actual, relative and negative...

This paper presents a description of some fundamental properties of networks of economic selfinfluence and transfer of economic influence within hierarchies of economic sub-systems using structural path analysis within a multiregional input-output system. In this fashion, exchange between...

The effects of structural change in all sectors of some regions in multiregional input-output systems are explored in this paper. For each region, the changes in direct inputs are decomposed into a matrix of intraregional changes and a matrix of interregional backward linkage changes. This...

A new wave of interest in long-run economic growth emerged since the late 1980s. This paper uses a simple model to illustrate how technological change can be endogenised in macroeconomic theories of growth and then surveys how - through factor mobility, the diffusion of innovations and trade -...

New information and telecommunication technologies in the transport sector, often named 'Advanced Transport Telematics` (ATT), play a key role in the new European network economy, as they have the potential to offer new solutions to the emerging transport problems in Europe. However, the...
