This note responds to the comments by Garbellini (2026) on the treatment of demand shocks in the Input-Output model in Stamegna et al. (2024). We show that the increase in arms expenditure is correctly identified as an investment shock, while increases in public expenditure on environmental...

Applying the most recent international input-output tables, we examine potential short-term effects of various demand shocks on the Russian economy. Our analysis suggests that a reduction of 1 % in Chinese final demand results in a 0.1 % decline in Russian GDP. Similarly, a 10 % contraction in...

We examine the latest trends in the geographical distribution of value added of final demand and production chains of the US, EU and China based on recently published international input-output tables extending to 2024. Both in final demand and in production chains the share of domestic value...

This study aims to assess the economic-ecological impacts of coffee growing of Chapada Diamantina, located in the Brazilian state of Bahia, within the context of the local, state, and national production structure. The intensity coefficients of the use of ecological commodities are quantified by...

This research investigates the multiplier effect of ferry transportation development on the medium-term economy of Samosir Island from 2016 to 2022. The study will provide insights into the implications of ferry transportation for the economies of rural or remote regions like Samosir Island. The...

This article employs two alternative approaches based on input-output tables to re-evaluate key Australian industries and their interconnections. The first approach utilizes traditional linkages, while the second approach employs machine learning methods. Data come from the OECD database for...

Strategic autonomy can be bolstered by applying circularity strategies such as reducing primary inputs and recycling critical raw materials in key technologies. However, effective actions require high definition at the material or technology level, leading to a non-systematic and often tedious...

Purpose The main goal of this paper is to examine the evolution of Latin American productive integration in terms of the regional value added incorporated in intra-regional exports of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. In addition, the study traces the trade and productive...

We examine changes in the manufacturing sector value chains of the EU, US, China, and India between 2018 and 2023 by introducing three metrics for supply-chain vulnerability. For our first metric, the physical length of a supply chain based on the distance between the producer of the final...

Using structural impact analysis, this paper investigates the economic implications of road transport infrastructure investments on the Latin American Integration Route (LAIR) in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Brazil. We aim to determine whether these investments can drive short-term...

This study develops a hydroeconomic input-output (IO) model to evaluate the pressures that economic activities exert on water resources. For a better understanding of the sectoral and total impacts, three innovations are incorporated with respect to previous literature: i) the development of a...

We constructed an interregional input-output system for the tourist regions of Sergipe and identified the contribution of Tourism Characteristic Activities (TCAs) to the state's economy. It is the first system built for tourist regions in Brazil that disaggregates tourism activities by sector...

The investigation into the employment-generating capacity of industries has captured the interest of numerous scholars on a global scale. However, there is a paucity of literature on the impact of the capacity underutilization of dairy processing plants (DPPs) on employment multipliers. This...

Traditional theories of firm boundaries predict trade between vertically related units of the same firm. Using novel data that combine a comprehensive mapping of U.S. multinationals’ production networks with their customs filings, we uncover a strong positive relationship between input-output...

Space-enabled technologies underpin communications, navigation, Earth observation, and critical infrastructure, but widely cited estimates of the space economy often rely on proprietary classifications or revenue tallies that abstract from production linkages. We develop a transparent,...

This note clarifies a number of methodological issues in the treatment of sectoral investment shocks in the article by Stamegna, M., C. Bonaiuti, P. Maranzano, and M. Pianta. 2024. "The Economic Impact of Arms Spending in Germany, Italy, and Spain." Peace Economics, Peace Science and Public...

This paper aims to verify the long run structural changes in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in Brazil which presents the particularity of high emissions in the agriculture and livestock sectors, and low emissions in energy sectors. We use an additive Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA) to...

How does Italy position inside the European structure of trade relationships? How labour bilateral flows have changed over time? Which type of employment activity has been outsourced? Which insourced? Focusing on a three-country perspective, what are the employment bilateral relationships...

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the supply and demand side of structural transformation in Turkey. Using the GGDC/UNU-WIDER Economic Transformation Database, we find that labour productivity improvements explain more than half of economic growth in the period 1980-2021. This is...

The return of persistent inflation in OECD countries has been the most significant macroeconomic phenomenon in recent years. This article analyses different explanations for the current inflationary dynamics, from which various policy recommendations arise. Specifically, by using a...
