A Note on Methods of Estimating Regional Input-output Tables: Can the Flq Improve the Ras Algorithm?
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper challenges the assertion made by FLEGG and TOHMO, 2011 that the FLQ non-survey method of estimating regional trade will improve the accuracy of STONE's, 1969 RAS algorithm when applied within the context of constructing regional input-output tables. The paper firstly raises a number of conceptual concerns with the assertion before presenting empirical evidence regarding the efficacy of the claim using Finland regional input-output data for 1995. The paper finds evidence to reject the view that the FLQ and other location quotients can provide an improvement to the RAS algorithm.
