Regional Input-Output Analysis (Scientific Geography Series Vol 6) (Scientific Geography Series, Vol. 6)

Regional Input-Output Analysis applies standard macroeconomic accounting principles to geographic and regional studies. It explains how the input-output model is derived and how it is linked with models used by economists, geographers and regional scientists. Hewings develops an analytic framework and constructs regional input-output models. He then expands the model to consider interaction between regions. Lastly, he links the model to linear programming and demographic models to provide a more sophisticated representation of reality.
