The fast and steady economic growth in China during the 1990s has attracted much international attention. Using the three most recent Chinese input-output tables, this paper investigates industry structure and inter-industry relationships and the relationship of both to economic growth. The input-output tables contain intermediate demand and final demand for six broad industries, namely, Agricu...

Abstract In the analyses of uncertainty propagation buildings’ energy-demand, Monte Carlo method is commonly used. this study we present two alternative approaches: stochastic perturbation and transformed random variable method. The energy-demand analysis performed for representative single-family house in Poland. investigation focused on independent variables, considered as uncertain, expanded...

The inter-regional freight volume is a crucial factor for transportation infrastructure planning and investment decision-making. However, existing studies on estimation have mainly focused the total within specific region, without taking flow into consideration. In this research, gravity model was employed to estimate trade coefficient matrix based input–output tables of 31 provinces in China 2...

Malaysia experienced four major phases of industrialization, with import substitution or export orientation dominating each phases alternatively. Manufacturing sector is important in Malaysia’s industrial development, inducing rapid growth, technology expansion and upgrading labor skill. High growth rates and high technology expansion in these sector resulted in a substantial increase in demand...

nowadays, economic load dispatch between generation units with least cost involved is one of the most important issues in utilizing power systems. in this paper, a new method i.e. water cycle algorithm (wca) which is similar to other intelligent algorithm and is based on swarm, is employed in order to solve the economic load dispatch problem between power plants. wca is used to solve complicate...

We assume that our value added production function v = f(l, n, k, ω), is part of a more general production function separable in all intermediate inputs Y = g(f(l, n, k, ω), h(Γ, ω)) where Γ is a vector of intermediate inputs. Let ι be one intermediate input, which LP assume has a demand function of the form:ιit = ιt(ωit, kit). Other possible state variables not explicitly included in the above...

the input - output framework is applied in this study to analyse the change, in the use of labor input. on the basis of input-output tables sectors of the economy are specified according to the degree of their interdependences. backward and forward employment linkages can he calculated. the sectors then are classified according to their total (direct and indirect) employment linkages. through a...
