This paper addresses the question whether the results of input-output (IO) impact analyses differ (and to what extent) when a framework in current prices or in constant prices is used. We consider the effect of an exogenous stimulus of final demand in current prices on (a) gross output in...

Using the world input-output tables available from the WIOD project, we quantify production line positions of 35 industries for 40 countries and the rest of the world region over 1995-2011. In contrast to the previous related literature we do not focus only on the output supply chain, but also...

We consider a network game studied in Ballester, Calvo-Armengol, and Zenou (2006, Econometrica, 74/5, pp. 1403-17), where an intercentrality measure identifies the key player - a player who, once removed, leads to the optimal change in overall activity. This paper in searching for the key group...

We explicitly formulate (optimization) problems of finding a key sector and a key group of sectors within the framework of a hypothetical extraction method (HEM), and derive their solutions in terms of simple measures termed industries' factor worths. It is shown that the top k gt;= 2 sectors...

This work provides an extensive overview of the input-output (IO) literature, both theoretical and empirical, dealing with the inherent IO data uncertainty issues. The survey is carried out on the basis of a specific uncertainty technique used, rather than taking a chronological overview...
