Publisher's Synopsis
Input-output analysis is relatively recent in China, but has, since its beginnings there in the 1960s, expanded rapidly in terms of both theoretical developments and empiricial applications. The contributors to this text, who themselves helped to initiate input-output research at national, regional and local enterprise level, document the diversity of work currently being undertaken in China. The book also provides a detailed analysis of the application of input-output work to planning at all levels.
