Evaluating Strategies for Environmentally Sound Economic Development: An Input-Output Approach

A Measure of Economic Diversity: An Input-Output Approach

Economic diversity has often been promoted as a means to achieve the economic goal of stability. Few empirical studies have been able to relate higher levels of diversity to both economic stability and overall levels of economic activity. Diversity measures, as used in these studies, have tended to be narrowly defined, usually emphasizing the distribution of employment across industries. These ...

An Introduction to Environmentally-Extended Input-Output Analysis

Environmentally-extended input-output (EEIO) analysis provides a simple and robust method for evaluating the linkages between economic consumption activities and environmental impacts, including the harvest and degradation of natural resources. EEIO is now widely used to evaluate the upstream, consumption-based drivers of downstream environmental impacts and to evaluate the environmental impact...

Human Development Index In Input Output Framework- An Alternative Approach

Input-Output Multipliers, General Purpose Technologies, and Economic Development

Intermediate goods are another produced factor of production, like capital. Simple examples suggest that the multiplier associated with intermediate goods can be substantial, even larger than the one resulting from physical capital accumulation. This paper evaluates this insight using a model in which N goods are produced using all of the other goods as intermediate inputs. Calibrating the mode...

An Input - Output Assessment of Employment, Efficiency, Income Distribution and Growth Strategies in Iran

This Paper has used a multisectoral input-output model of Iranian economy to examine the ability of different sectors of economy to create jobs per unit of output as well as capital. The results reveal that there is no conflict in a growth strategy that simultaneously attempts to improve efficiency i.e. reallocating production to sectors with low DRCs, equity and job creation. Although sectoral...
